Make a Nantucket Lightship Basket with Bob Rosenberg

South of Cape Cod, thirty miles at sea, is Nantucket Island, an early nineteenth century whaling center that became known for, among other things, the unique baskets originally made by the crews of the lightships stationed around the island. These baskets became known worldwide for their unique design and meticulous workmanship. In this two-day class, Bob Rosenberg will carry on this tradition while guiding students through the careful construction of a 6" Nantucket lightship basket. Participants do not need any prior woodworking experience or specialized tools to complete this rewarding project. Tuition: $195.00 (plus materials $45.00)
