As I've been looking for quilled pouches for sale I keep coming across your blog with exactly what I am looking for so I am simply going to ask, are your items for sale or just photos of your collection? Appreciate it thank you!
This above piece is by Bill Wright who supplied the photo to us. We show work that we have photographed at shows and items that are sent to us. The upcoming Contemporary Longrifle Show in Lexington, KY on August 14-15, 2015 will be an ideal place to find quillwork and other 18th century items.
When Robert Weil started collecting images for the Contemporary Makers book in 1973 the challenge to record contemporary gun work was daunting. Gathering material was difficult and time consuming. Few makers thought that there was any value in published documentation of their work. Electronic publishing has changed all that. Having a website or having one's work available to view on the internet is becoming a necessity. In spite of all the potential to finally have a true overview of what's being produced by the artists of today, a great deal of work still remains covered up and basically unknown. Our role is to make an effort to document some portion of what’s going on today. To comment on the established makers and to uncover the unknown. We welcome your comments and suggestions and look to you our readers to make us aware of the talented makers out there. Art and Jan Riser Robert Weil and The Makers
