West Coast Aboriginal Carving Class

West Coast Aboriginal Carving

Langara’s Fine Arts Department offered its first West Coast Aboriginal Carving class this summer. Students enrolled in this foundational class on West Coast First Nations carving culture and techniques generated two projects in 2D and 3D using various hand-carving approaches and tools. Although based in the cultural teachings of a Coast Salish teacher, students developed their pieces in telling their own personal, family, and cultural stories.

Master Carver and Coast Salish artist, Aaron Nelson Moody taught this fully subscribed class.
