As a Nantucket resident, I was delighted to discover the Wieskamps at the Annual Winter Park Arts Festival, a number of years ago. I was astonished to find that the quality of their work equaled or exceeded the wonderful weaving I had come to know and love on our island. Since, I have acquired several of their baskets for myself and my family. Friends on Nantucket have examined Wieskamp baskets and have agreed that the work was superlative.
The one difference between the Wieskamp baskets and those found on Nantucket is the price! I have suggested, more than once, that Gene and Lorraine should really charge more!
