Learn how to carve a two-dimensional plaque with an eagle design. This course is for both beginners and intermediates who will be at ease as they will be using soft bass wood that is already roughed out. The only tool needed is a straight knife. Instructor: Rupert Scow lives in Lake Cowichan, and he began learning to carve cedar in his 20s. He soon developed his own style, and continues to keep the tradition of carving alive by teaching others the traditional techniques. He comes from a line of Kwakwaka’wakw carvers living in the Alert Bay/Gilford Island area on Northern Vancouver Island.
