| Allan
Blyth
educated his eye in the techniques and craftsmanship of carving
at a very early age. Born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia,
he spent hours as a child watching master carvers restore ancient
totem poles and house-posts destined for the Victoria Museum.
In his 20s, Al was introduced to a master carver who became his
teacher in the Kwagiulth style. He carved and painted as a hobby
for many years, earning his living in the shipyards and the family
business. When an industrial accident cut his career short, Al
began carving full-time. He creates ceremonial masks, as well
as bowls, boxes, walking sticks and feast dishes. Soon he will
be incorporating metal casting, stone, bone, and other natural
materials, in his works. |
