North Stonington Historical Society will feature the artistry of Basket-Maker Charlie Barber at 1 Wyassup Road, North Stonington, during its May 11th Second Saturday Open House from 11 AM – 2 PM. Parking and admission are free.
A second feature will take place at 11:30 AM when the Scottish Country Dancers will perform in all their glory.
Charlie first became interested in basketry about 40 years ago when some weaver friends visited his home on Mason’s Island and he thought “I can do that!” Coming from a long line of carpenters, his trial-and-error learning process seemed to come naturally. Today Barber’s work is sold in specialty shops around New England from Maine to Boston and at auctions.
The public is invited to learn much more about “basketry” from this Master.
NSHS’ individual annual membership is $20 including eight Newsletters written by Editor Vilma Gregoropoulos..
