Stiches in Time - The Nantucket School of Needlery with Dr. Isabella Rosner

Season 2, Episode 2 of 'The Nantucket Gam' weaves the tale of the Nantucket School of Needlery, which opened in the 1960s and played an important role in the revival of handcrafts on Nantucket Island well into the 1970s. Join Thomas, Annalie and Adam as they stich together the story of one of the island's lesser known histories; one which explores the incredible creativity and skill of Nantucket's artist community. We are joined by special guest Dr. Isabella Rosner, Curator of Textiles at the United Kingdom's Royal School of Needlework (and host of the podcast 'Sew What?'), who's deep knowledge of and infectious enthusiasm for historic needlework ties Nantucket's history to contemporary research and the NHA's 2025 exhibition of textiles!
