William does everything with intention, integrity and care. I have attended his workshops, played and owned instruments... made by him, and used employed his artistic/design skills- always to my full satisfaction. Recently have been impressed with his feather protector spray. I would stand by and reccommend any of his products and services 100%.read more

There's something very special about creating something with your hands - something that did not previously exist and... now does because of your vision and effort. William's workshop was a great joy to attend and I love the flute I was able to make as a result of his instruction and guidance. Also, I picked up some great tips I can apply to the flutes I make using bamboo or pvc. All around a great experience. Very recommended.read more

Itiba Cahubaba is the “great bleeding mother”
Itiba Cahubaba is the “great bleeding mother” or “bleeding grandmother” in the Taino tradition. She is integral in our creations stories, and portrayed in a few different variations artistically. This is a custom necklace I have available, hand carved bone pendant with clear quartz, aventurine, and jade beads or silver string. #handmade #carving #bonecarving #taino #cemi #zemi #tainocemi #nativeart #nativemade

Inspired by the Venus of Dolní Věstonice, one of the oldest ceramic artifacts in the world. This Venus inspiration is carved in Georgia marble. Carving stone has been one of the hardest, no pun intended, art skills to learn. The transition from softer materials like wood to stone can be very intimidating. But there’s something about creating a piece of art that could last millennia. It warms my heart to make something that could be found by future peoples as they wonder about who and why it was made. #stonecarving #stonecarver #venuscarving #venusreplica #marblecarving #stoneart #handmade #artistsoninstagram

I haven’t been too interested in sending time us
I haven’t been too interested in sending time using social media lately, got burnt out on posting. Here’s another repair project completed. This vintage drum arrived here totally disassembled and the frame was broken. I’ve repaired and reinforced the frame, and replaced one side of the head with new elk. Just waiting on the final dry time and back to its home good as new. #drumrepair #taosdrum #repairdrum #drum #framedrum #indigenousdrum

Itiba Cahubaba (bleeding grandmother) an Taino cemi (ancestral spirit). She is part of our creation story, being one of the birth era of the world and humanity. Reach out to purchase this hand made cemi pendant, choose the necklace design to your liking. #taino #bone #bonependant #bonecarving #cemi #zemi #handmade #handcarved #carving #pendant #indigenous #arawakan

Yesterdays leatherwork workshop went really well!
Yesterdays leatherwork workshop went really well! It’s always fun seeing each child’s method and design. Some like to be self sufficient and others want more guidance, by the end of our time they each make a unique item by their own hands. So much fun! #meritbadge #scoutbadges #meritbadgecounselor #leatherwork #leather #leatherworkshop #workshop #appalachia #archaicroots
