For a week in October 2013, the Smithsonian Institution's Arctic Studies Center in Alaska brought together three artists who work with porcupine quills, which were stitched, wrapped, and woven onto Athabascan skin clothing, moccasins and bags. The artists exchanged ideas and techniques and studied museum collections, working together to re-discover historical techniques nearly lost. They also shared their knowledge with museum visitors and staff. • To see how-to and interview videos, please visit the project microsite at Sharing Knowledge Alaska: http://www.mnh.si.edu/arctic/html/sha...
