SUMMARY:Shaker Chair Seat Weaving Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Shaker Chair Seat Weaving Workshop\nWednesday\, February 12th\, 2025\n1:00 – 4:00 pm\nEnfield Shaker Museum \n447 NH Route 4A \nEnfield\, NH 03748 \n\nLearn to weave a chair seat with Shaker tape and help Enfield Shaker Museum!

We have an abundance of chairs that need new seats! \nRefreshments served. \n\n\nAll participants need to bring scissors and a hammer. \n\n\nFree for participants who will be weaving Museum chairs \n\n\n$25 for participants weaving their own chairs + materials \n\n\nClass size limited to 10.
