One of my great mentors, John McGuire passed along a Nantucket basket mold that has sat with a basket started on it many years ago (e.g., brittle), but I am determined to complete it, broken and repaired, into a prototype for a purse basket (4″ x 8″ x 5″).

It’s a handsome shape that will be offered in white oak or black ash for those who join me for a weekend workshop at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, Gatlinburg, TN in March, 2020.

Or choose a full size fish creel basket as an option that’s shown a few posts below.

More info soon to come.
