About me
Sophie Sendra
My love of seat weaving began in 1982 when I was 14 years old. At that time my mother was earning a living doing upholstery and caning. I was a child who enjoyed a variety of arts and crafts that involved attention to detail so when my mother acquired a stool to recane, I asked her to teach me the basics. That stool is still in my mum's house.
Caning became a long term hobby but my main interest was for horses and most of my working life has been within the equestrian industry, however, my age and the British weather has put a dampener on my passion for horses so my second love has taken their place.
I now have over 40 years experience in cane and rush weaving and it has become my full time living. I'm lucky enough to have a cosy workshop at the bottom of my garden where I can be found most of the time!
I look forward to giving your treasured chair a new lease of life.
