Hand-Caned, Heritage Basket Studio & Chair Caning, Poor Heating System, Ribbed Basket, studio

100_0240The last several weeks in the studio have been a mishmash of things going on, as there has been a real heat crisis at the community center where the hot water heat system was not heating any of the artists studios at all, it was just way to cold to work in my room without looking and dressing like the Michelin Man, however that does not help your hands when working in water all day, so I have not spent much time there.

While being faced with the possibility of needing to buy up to 800.00 worth of Eden Pure like heaters just to have a working studio with warmth. UPDATE- As of yesterday we suddenly have heat in all the studios, was actually the first real day in a month or more I can say I enjoyed working in the studio, without being chilled to the bone each night.

I am hoping the heat situation is resolved, as the 800.00 would have went a long way to getting my storage racks and luan doors for partitions to make my studio presentable to the public and myself, as everything is now laying on the floor, if I can do without investing in that many heaters, then hopefully by the end of the month I may be able to have the studio completely set up! What a Great Feeling for me that would be.

The chairs you see in the pictures mostly are chairs that I have acquired over the years that were in my storage unite in Bridgewater, that thanks to my great friends David & Robin Miller and their son Jason, moved for me on last Friday.

Amongst these chairs were several customers chairs that have waited patiently long and now they are in line to be hand caned. I have already started removing bottoms and started the hand caning as you can see.

I have had several people ask since starting this blog in 2009, if I would make a post on the steps involved in weaving a Ribbed Style Basket and the steps involved in Hand Caning a Chair.

This month I am planning on doing just that. I would like to have the capabilities of putting together a video on both, alas, I don’t have that capability, so for now both posts will show this in pictures. I have the frame for the basket staring at me on the table which is a 20” round oak hoop and a 12 x 20” oval hoop, this is a basket of my own design. I also have a chair to be hand caned.

So this seems the perfect time to work on both of these and let you see the progression of each in pictures.

The following are just pictures of chairs and baskets from the past to help illustrate the styles to be demonstrated.

019As it turns out this is the basket to be woven this month.!

Below are other examples of Ribbed Baskets woven in the past.

It is that time of year again, before the holidays arrive I like to try to remind my customers to remember to place their basket orders now, to avoid disappointments. Order early, as all baskets are handmade and require time to prepare and weave.

In general, market style baskets can be ordered up to November 25, however due to the nature of Ribbed basket (Egg) these take much longer and need to be ordered soon. This week I hope to post pictures of my most popular baskets for gift giving. This is just a friendly reminder, to remember to order early.
