Port Townsend School of Woodworking

Filming in Progress with Liam Gallagher

Port Townsend School of Woodworking, Tlingit Spoon carving class. I’ve been an instructor at the school for 4-5 years now. I’ve really enjoyed passing on knowledge to students. More than just teaching the fundamentals of carving, I also teach history and cultural significance of what we’re doing. It’s been rewarding in its own right, it’s a gift to show people what they’re capable of doing.
