PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED - https://reg125.imperisoft.com/ChesterCountyArts/ProgramDetail/3935313331/Registration.aspx
This year, the Chester County Art Association is proud to partner with the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen to host unique fine craft workshops at CCAA, led by Guild teaching artists.
Nantucket Trinket Basket
Just in time for the Holiday Season!
This workshop will include the use of all necessary tools, mold, cane, and reed to complete a small Nantucket basket ready for finishing with Polyurethane. The polyurethane finishing will be done outside of the workshop. The mold size and basket will be between 3 and 4 inches in diameter with a solid cherry or walnut base and rim. 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.
This is a one-day workshop which require weaving for 3 to 5 hours to complete the basket. The basket-weaving material is cane and reed. The reed is approximately ¼” flat oval and the cane is 2.25mm to 2.50mm in width. The weaving material is thin and lightweight. It’s easy to weave and “pack” using a pushing tool.
