Over the years, our bows and workshops have been written about, filmed, and celebrated by students, writers, and filmmakers. Here are a few highlights:
Featured in Project Quiver
Jamie MacDonald is one of 14 bowyers featured in Quiver: The Art of Life Through Bowcraft, a photographic journey into the people and traditions keeping traditional bowcraft alive.
Todd Howard, the creator of Project Quiver, met Jamie while making his first bow in a Ravenbeak workshop. Years later, Todd returned to document Jamie's work as part of the journey around the world, learning from some of the finest bowyers working today.
