Artist Statement I like to buy antique chairs and rockers with cane seats and backs in need of some tender loving care. We find chairs and rockers in antique malls, yard sales, flea markets, and auctions. I refinish the chairs and weave a cane seat and/or back with one of the beautiful fancy patterns like daisy chain, double daisy chain, double Victoria, snowflake, spider web, lace, etc. I have even started creating my own creative cane hand woven patterns. I caned my first rocker about 1993, then put away the craft until I retired in 2009. I picked up the caning bug again about 2-3 years ago and have really enjoyed bringing back to useful life chairs and rockers that were thought to be of no value by their previous owners. Recently I taught my first chair caning class and found that experience to be very rewarding as well as educational for me as well as the students.
