CANTON – Want to give new life to that old chair? The “Splint Seat Workshop” will take place at the Silas Wright House, 3 East Main St., on two consecutive Wednesday evenings, March 25 and April 1, from 7 until 9 p.m.

Instructor Carl Stickney has decades of experience in replacing splint-woven seats and will share his knowledge and enthusiasm for this art. Stickney is a member of the Board of Trustees of the St. Lawrence County Historical Association and the Stockholm Town Historian.

Participants should bring a chair with the old seat removed. The fee is $43 for historical association members and $53 for nonmembers.

The splint material is included in the cost of the workshop; additional supplies to bring from home are: scissors, an awl, a paring knife, a few clothespins, a rag, and a small water container.

Parking is available in back of the SLCHA, next to the museum’s main entrance.

To register, send your name, address, phone number, email and nonrefundable payment to the St. Lawrence County Historical Association, PO Box 8, Canton, NY 13617.
