Teaching Artist Kathy Talley’s Weaving Classes Back at Carnegie Hall by Popular Demand

LEWISBURG W.Va. (WVDN) – Carnegie Hall Teaching Artist Kathy Talley returns to the fall schedule of classes and workshops with a new all-day workshop – How to Weave a Foot Stool. This Appalachian Heritage Class will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in Carnegie’s Old Stone Room.

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 life to family antiques or thrifted pieces. The instructor will provide all materials and tools, and no experience is required for this beginner level workshop.

Registration for the Foot Stool class is $125 for members ($135 nonmembers) and students must be 16 years of age or older.
