Seat Weaving classes are available around the country if you know where to look. Many of the classes are run through one of the following organizations.
- Historical Society
- College Continuing Education Dept
- Nature Center
- Recreation and Parks Dept
- High School Continuing Education Dept
- Heritage Centers
- Arts Centers and Camps
We teach seatweaving of all types through the Millcreek Township (Erie, PA) Recreation and Parks Dept, Adult Leisure Arts classes. The Director, Jim Sperry has graciously maintained our class for nearly 8 years with enrollments of 5 - 12 students each session. Our 8-week classes run for 2-hours each week in the fall, winter, and spring. Our students have woven seats for over 50 chairs so far.
Recently, an area resident in Erie donated chairs (2 bentwood Cafe chairs) to the classes. Students without a chair can learn to weave a seat using a donate chair. If you have chairs that you would like to donate to a seat weaving class, contact the teacher or the organization sponsoring the classes and arrange to drop them off. Even chairs that are in need of some repair will make excellent projects for the new seat weaver.
