Pressingham Farm Designs specializes in handcrafted Nantucket Lightship Bracelets, Baskets, Gyotaku art and other coastal designs.
I grew up in the seaside town of Scituate, Massachusetts. Walking distance to the harbor and as a free range kid of the 70's, I spent many a day hanging around, studying the local artisans...Paul McCarthy the woodcarver, his wife Donna the Scrimshaw artist, Cribbin Shea the leather craftsman, Donna Green the painter, Bill Verge the goldsmith...for a kid who dabbled in the arts, Scituate Harbor was a magical place. I think that is where my love of the "lost' arts began (fish prints, scrimshaw, Nantucket Lightship basket weaving).
I didn't choose a career in the arts. Instead, I spent 28 years with the Massachusetts State Police, retiring as a Captain in 2014. With retirement came the ability to try new things and learn new skills. This website showcases some of those creative tendencies.
Enjoy!
