THE LOCAL: The Master Carver from Jacob Rosenberg on Vimeo.
In this pilot film, we follow Master carver and indigenous Alaskan artist Wayne Price as he creates fine art in the traditional style of the Tlingit people. Wayne’s artistic creations cover a broad range of design and artifacts, including totem poles, dugout canoes, masks, paddles, clan hats and jewelry. Wayne works with local youth to pass on the craft and culture of the Tlingit people. Wayne takes us on a journey as he builds an adze, a traditional Tlingit wood-carving tool used by his ancestors for thousands of years.
Something a little different today – we like wood around our camp. We like seeing it growing in forests, we like responsibly harvesting it, then carefully drying, shaping, and coaxing it into useful and often beautiful things.
Another reminder the best things in life truly aren’t digital.
