Quillwork is a traditional Indigenous art form that involves the use of porcupine quills to create intricate designs and patterns on various surfaces, such as leather, birch bark, and fabric. The quills are dyed in various colors and then flattened before being carefully stitched onto the chosen material. Quillwork has been used by Indigenous peoples in North America for centuries to adorn clothing, accessories, and ceremonial items. It is a highly skilled and time-consuming art form that reflects the cultural and artistic traditions of Indigenous communities.
