Cotuit: 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, approachable project rooted in tradition.

Each participant will receive a beautifully crafted cherry wood base, a matching solid rim, and a 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 your creativity and the enduring elegance of Nantucket basketry.
