ClayB Report post Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Robb Barr's family is working on a website in memory of one of leather's masters. It's not finsihed yet, not too many pictures up, but it's a start. They told me once they would love to be able to share stories about Robb from people that knew him, or took classes from him. If you have a story to share, please contact them. They are also interested in pictures of his work that they might not have copies of. I think this is a great way to remember someone who helped take leather carving to a whole new dimension. Check out the site (in progress) at robb-barr.com Edited October 30, 2008 by ClayB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check out the site (in progress) at robb-barr.com I was just talking to someone and this is what I know; "I contacted the family several times offering my photos taken in Robb's last workshop and they never answered me."

ClayB Report post Posted November 1, 2008 Brandon, Someone told me that too awhile ago. So, how about seeing if your friend would post the pictures here on LW? I know I'd love to see them. I'm not sure who is working on the site, but next time I see Dave or Cheryl, I'll ask them if they read the email they get from the site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johanna Report post Posted November 1, 2008 I wrote a note to Cheryl and Dave and offered them any assistance LW could provide shortly after I read this first post. I haven't heard back either. I have collected quite a few pics of Robb's work, but I don't want to use them w/o permission from his sister. LW would be happy to crosslink and help people find the site they are building in his memory, of course. His art is pretty incredible (look at the show pics for the 2007 show- there was a display of his art there) and he was known for being an excellent instructor.
