Porcupine quillwork is an exquisite Native American craft that utilizes the quills of North American porcupines to adorn various items such as clothing, bags, and accessories. The quills are meticulously dyed in an array of vibrant colors, then softened in water before being carefully flattened with a deer antler. Then is sewn or wrapped onto materials, creating intricate and geometric patterns that showcase both the skill and cultural heritage of the craft. Some quillwork is adorned with bead work and other natural materials.
