Cane weaving workshop coming soon to Valparaiso museum

VALPARAISO — The Heritage Museum is planning a seat weaving workshop. The schedule hasn't been set yet.

Weaving styles to be taught include the classical cane open weave; closed weave of fiber rush, common on ladder-back chairs; and herringbone pattern, using flat or oval reed. Some chairs and stools are available for learning.

Attendees may bring their chairs to learn how to make the old chair look new.

Admission costs $8 per session for museum members, or $10 for nonmembers. There is a one-time $10 fee per chair for materials and tool use.

Call 678-2615 if you would like to attend.
