Friday, August 21, 10am-2pm AND Saturday, August 22, 10am-2pm Discover the art of Nantucket basketry as you create your own 6½” round Nantucket Lightship lidded bowl. Perfect for beginners and experienced weavers alike, this hands-on workshop offers a rewarding and approachable project rooted in tradition. Each participant will receive a beautifully crafted cherry wood base, matching solid rim, and fitted lid—complete with your choice of acrylic carved knob for a personalized finishing touch. Using traditional reed staves and natural cane, you’ll learn time-honored weaving techniques as your bowl takes shape. With all materials and tools provided, all you need to bring is your enthusiasm. Leave with a handcrafted piece that reflects both your creativity and the enduring elegance of Nantucket basketry. $475 per person/$450 per member Register
