I've been weaving Nantuckets since developing an affinity for them over two decades ago. I always craved creating and found my passion while sitting surf side on the island. The only thing I love more than weaving is teaching others this fine American craft. The history behind these beautiful creations is one of sustainability, resourcefulness, and sailor's boredom. Join me for an inspiring class

creating your own Nantucket lightship basket. I teach at various venues, am available for "weave and whine" gatherings, and also offer open weave sessions at my home studio. Contact me for more information.

Offering a reward to anyone who has knowledge about dirt bikers or ANYONE that may have witnessed a BMW going off the road on Old Westfield Road in Granville MA on September 25, 2021. This occurred near Bruce Road at roughly 2:30 am. I'm not looking for arrests, I'm looking to find a witness that knows something about this accident that killed two young men, my son included. Reward is simply to help me understand what truly happened. PLEASE SHARE, Thank you!

Beautiful new handbag!

Can anyone tell me if there is a "front" and a "back" to each ACK weaving? If so, how can you find it???

Because I am self taught I've learned through the years that I evidently weave in reverse of other ACK weavers. Weave how it is most comfortable for YOU! Learn from multiple teachers, this is the best way. And, allow your creation to have wabi!! It is only perfect if it has an imperfection! Otherwise a machine could replace you. Respect imperfection in animate and inanimate creations!

Mika-San's fine weaving from nimble fingers! Amazing work!! Our last session, I helped her straighten out the lashing. She forgot which way to go lol and ended up crisscrossing.

So proud of Mika. Showing her progression. She's such a conscientious weaver! And does phenomenal work!
