Start of the Carving Project

The 'Solent Guild of Woodcarvers and Sculptors' received an email from a teacher at Milton Park Junior School asking if there was anyone who might be able to spend some time showing the children how a Totem Pole was carved.

The class had been studying North American First Nation People for a project and had painted a Totem Pole, depicting a story involving a Bear, a Beaver, an Owl and a Parrot.

I agreed to go to the school and show how a carved totem pole might be made.
