Class Times
Select your preferred class time. Although student preferences will be considered as the classes are formed, Robeson Art Guild reserves the right to form classes as needed and cannot guarantee a particular time period.
Materials
The materials needed for the class are specific to the project you wish to complete. Therefore, materials are NOT provided in the class tuition fee. Kits can be purchased online thru Amazon or directly from HH Perkins.
To determine which size is right for your chair, measure the diameter of the chair holes, and measure the distance between the holes, center to center. Select the size that matches your chair based on the size chart provided with the online kit description. If your measurements don’t match the chart exactly, the diameter of hole is more important than the center-to-center measurement. Kits normally include a bundle of natural strand cane (rattan peel) for stated woven seat sizes and may include tools and/or pegs and instructions for a project.
Kits: Instructor Jim Tripp recommends a kit of supplies from H H Perkins. Select the cane size you need for your project. Click here to select and order your kit(s): https://hhperkins.com/…/strand-cane/products/caning-kits.
Kits are also available thru Amazon. If you decide to order from Amazon, look for kits with stands and binder cane, product or chairs that have holes around the perimeter of the seat, NOT pre-made webbing.
Cancellation policy
Cancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 2 weeks before the first class in the series.
