Ketchikan, AK - Bill Holm, a Seattle-based expert in Northwest Coast Native art, recently came to Ketchikan to teach two classes at the Totem Heritage Center. He taught Advanced Northwest Coast Design, as well as an advanced carving class in which the students carved canoe-form feast bowls. 27 students, including some of Ketchikan's most accomplished carvers, signed up for the classes. Carvers came from as far away as Vermont and Arizona to participate.
