Date Time NANTUCKET BASKETS APRIL 4, 2020 9:00 am to 5:00 pm please do not enter anything in this input Instructor: Bob Antonishak Skill Level: Some basket weaving experience preferred but not required This workshop will include the use of all necessary tools, mold, cane, and reed to complete a NANTUCKET BASKET READY FOR FINISHIN g.  The mold size will be between 3 and 5 inches with a solid cherry rim and base.  It is not necessary to have basket making experience but would be helpful. The NANTUCKET STYLE BASKET IS MADE ON A MOLD USING CANE AND REED MATERIAL.   The weave is tight and with narrow spacing between the staves. The first true Lightship BASKETS WERE MADE IN THE MID- to late 1800s aboard the Lightship stationed on the NANTUCKET SHOALS . The first Lightship Station on the NANTUCKET ISLAND SHOAL WAS ESTABLISHED IN JUNE 1854 AND CREWED BY SIX MEN. [4] Deployments aboard the Lightship often lasted for 30 days and the crewmembers generally had little to do. [5] The earliest Lightship BASKETS BEGIN APPEARING IN THE 1860S AND ARE GENERALLY OF MORE UTILITARIAN FORM. The first purse style basket with a lid was made by Lightship Captain Charles Ray (1798–1884) and is relatively similar to the type sold today. Lightship basket bases, rims, and staves tended to be made on-island, with lightship crewmembers bringing these items on board the ship to do the actual weaving, and help pass the time. The molds were originally made from old cut-up ships’ masts. If you have any questions please contact Bob Antonishak at raa108@yahoo.com .
