MONDAY MENTION–The SeatWeavers' Guild

May 18th, 2009 · Comments Off · Weavin' Wicker Woman Blog

Today’s Mention is about The SeatWeavers’ Guild, a relatively new chair caning guild that began on the Seatweaving, Chair Caning Forum and was organized at the Founder’s Meeting in the summer of 2007 in Nelsonville, Ohio.

Last year we held our first annual workshop and meeting again in Nelsonville, OH at Robbins Crossing, a recreation of a 1800s village; a perfect setting for our old-time craft of chair caning.

Here is a video I just created and put on YouTube.com under the keywords “chair caning” from some of the pictures taken during that meeting:
