Wicker Repair Techniques

Jill has over 30 years experience in wicker restoration and chair seating. 

Since 2015 the shop has conducted several comprehensive wicker restoration workshops for the individual looking to do wicker repair as a business, hobby or just to be a better wicker consumer and collector. Private lessons in wicker repair and chair seating may be negotiated on occasion. Check our calendar of events for classes and workshops. 

Jill is a founding member of the SeatWeaver's Guild, an organization built from a desire to encourage and grow the craftsmanship of seat weaving methods. We are a national, non-profit educational group organized to promote and perpetuate the age-old craft of chair seat weaving. Our members are craftsmen, teachers and restoration artists with a deep desire to pass on the chair seat weaving trade to the public. Visit our website www.seatweaversguild.org for more information.
