Adam McIsaac - Tribal Carvings of the Columbia River Basin

Regular Monthly Program

Adam McIsaac is a professional carver who has focused on Native American carvings in the Columbia River Basin for 30 years.  He mainly does commissions and has many in Washington and Oregon.  He teaches carving in this style from time to time and also teaches how to make crooked knives and adzes.  His studio is in La Center, WA just north of Vancouver.

Adam will cover a variety of topics related to carving style differences along the entire NW Coast, describe the unique characteristics of the Chinook and other tribes along the Columbia River, show examples of his work, discuss tools and techniques and answer questions.  The presentation will be a mix of photos, pre-recorded videos (for efficiency), and live interaction.
