Since 1975, The Wicker Woman® has been serving the antique wicker and basketry communities with a professional hands-on approach repairing and restoring, consulting, teaching, speaking, writing and blogging about antique wicker, chair caning and basketry. In my over 40 years experience in the wicker restoration and chair caning fields, it's been my pleasure to restore and preserve for future generations, many fine antique wicker pieces. And through teaching chair caning, basketry and wicker repair classes across the country, I'm passing on those skills to others so these crafts don't truly become "lost arts." WickerWoman.com online since 1999, providing Information, Resources, Education and Encouragement for Chair Caners, Basketmakers, Wicker Fixers, and Weaving Creatives. We have a National Furniture Repair Directory™, started in 2004, which connects restoration and repair experts across the country with customers needing TLD for their furniture. Directory categories are Chair Caning, Wicker Repair, Upholstery and Refinishing. It's a free service where customers can locate an expert near them to restore their furniture. The Furniture Repair Directory™ provides the opportunity for self-employed and small businesses to advertise their business for a reasonable annual rate. Businesses gain effective, maximum exposure at a very minimal price.
