Carnegie Hall Teaching Artist Kathy Talley returns to the fall schedule of classes and workshops with two all-day workshops – How to make a Cherokee Pinwheel Basket and How to Weave a Foot Stool. These Appalachian Heritage Classes take place in Carnegie’s Old Stone Room during the day and no experience is necessary.
On Oct. 17 Talley led a Cherokee Pinwheel Basket weaving class. Talley’s second Appalachian Heritage Class will be Weave a Foot Stool on Tuesday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Students will learn the art of using flat reed to weave a twill pattern for a functional stool seat. This technique can be applied to the restoration of any open bottom chair or stool, restoring the life to family antiques or thrifted pieces. The instructor will provide all materials and tools. No experience necessary.
Registration for the class is $125 for members ($135 nonmembers) and students must be 16 years of age or older.
