About Great Neck Designs
Great Neck Designs offers small-group Nantucket weaving workshops rooted in tradition and designed for modern wear. Each class is hands-on, welcoming, and intentionally intimate — an opportunity to slow down, learn something beautiful, and leave with a finished piece you’re proud to wear.
Meet Melissa
I teach Nantucket bracelet and jewelry workshops inspired by the timeless craft of Nantucket basket weaving. My goal is simple: to make this tradition approachable, enjoyable, and beautifully wearable.
Each class is thoughtfully structured for beginners and returning students alike. You’ll receive personal guidance throughout the process in a relaxed, supportive environment — whether it’s your first time weaving or your fifth.
Workshops are hosted at carefully chosen venues throughout the South Coast, creating an experience that feels both creative and connected to place.
What to Expect
• Small-group instruction
