MCHC welcomes Chesapeake-based father-and-son artisans Mark and Colin McNair for a conversation exploring the rich tradition of American bird carving and wildlife art. Duck decoys have long served as both practical hunting tools and beautifully crafted works of art, reflecting generations of craftsmanship and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
