Nantucket Lightship CUFF Bracelets !

These classic beauties are the local talk of any town, not just our beloved Nantucket.  Woven by hand using the same materials as the baskets and made of the finest quality ratan reeds and staves, you'll choose your colors and create a unique and lasting treasure.  We'll finish them with resin endcaps of which you can leave plain, or join our Scrimshaw class to personalize them yourself and to embellish your beautiful creation.  The Nantucket Lightship woven bracelets are coveted, traditional keepsakes and a sophisticated symbol of artistic status and demographic elegance.

Have your GPS take you to 101 West Rodney French Blvd. in New Bedford.  Once there, please park on the end of the building AWAY from the main entrance.  You'll see an ORANGE door that says Mattress Handup...enter there and go up the stairs.  At the top of the stairs...follow small yellow signs for NBACE.  We're right around the corner behind the mural  !!
