ACEnet Business Spotlight: Talcon Quinn
In an age where it can be difficult to navigate ethical purchasing choices, Talcon Quinn makes jewelry, leather, baskets & herbal formulas exclusively from materials that are ethically & sustainably harvested & processed. She makes sure each item carries no "soul tax," which she describes as a spiritual tax that is put into the cosmos when an object is created by unfair labor, unethically collected, or is processed with toxic chemicals, or if a seller is dishonest about how a product was obtained and the manner in which it was treated and cared for.
Talcon is not only the designer and craftsperson of these beautiful pieces of adornment,
she is also the gatherer and processor of the materials. These marvelous pieces help one carry their connectedness to the natural world as a reminder to make choices that respect all life.
Talcon shares these skills by teaching classes at her home, gatherings and folk schools around the country. She is very enthusiastic about sharing traditional skills, insuring that they live on. To sign up for upcoming classes or see if Talcon can teach near you, email her at reachout@talcon-quinn.com. You can view her bags, necklaces, earrings, baskets, buckskin clothing, hides, rosaries, bolos, and apothecary items on her website and Facebook page.
