Chair caner Joanne Duckworth

Joanne has been practicing this craft for over 30 years. An in-need-of-repair chair from her grandmother inspired her to take a chair caning class so she could "put a little of herself" into a treasure piece of furniture. She has taught chair caning at Western Technical College for many years and enjoys seeing students create usable, beautiful furniture.
