Chair Caning Workshop

Interested in learning a new craft? Do you have a lovely old chair that needs a new seat? Join us for a Chair Caning Workshop by artisan Melissa Sheldon and hosted by the Bedford Historical Society.

Dates: April 16, 30, May 7, 21, and 28 (this day may change)
Time: 1-3pm
Location: Bedford Historical Society, 24 N. Amherst Road, Bedford, NH

Description: Participants will learn the techniques of hand caning from artisan Melissa Sheldon.

Requirements: No experience needed! There are a few household items/tools to bring for the classes. This list will be given to you after you register.

Cost: Total workshop cost is $55.00 per person which includes class fee, supplies and a restored antique chair.

Do you have your own chair you would like to cane? Does it have holes drilled in the wood of the seat? Let us know when you register so we make sure you have a hand caned chair and we have the correct cane size available. Price of the class is the same.

Due to space limitations, class size will be limited to 10 students.
