Women of the Contemporary Longrifle Association Display with Shelly Gier | 2022

While at the 2022 CLA (Contemporary Longrifle Association) Annual show I was able to catch up with Shelly Gier and learn about the "Women of the CLA" Display.

This group of artists put together an incredible group of handmade auction items to raise funds for the CLA. In addition to the fundraising items, the group made this lovely display table full of their handmade 18th and early 19th century items. As much as we all love muzzleloaders, the accessories and accoutrements like the ones made here by the Women of the CLA, give us a well rounded look at the style and beauty that can accompany our muzzleloaders. I'd like to thank Shelly for taking the time to talk with me about the display, I hope you enjoy taking a look at the Women of the CLA.
