What's Happening in ACSS

Aaron Nelson-Moody

Aaron Nelson-Moody
Aka "Splash" Visited ACSS high-school to demonstrate art and crafting to some students in our carpentry class. Aaron was also asked to demonstrate his skill and talk a little about himself and aboriginal history. He started his interest as a young boy when his grandfather and other family would carve, and teach him too carve. he has spent 12 years at schools all across Canada and some parts of Scotland and japan teaching others and telling his stories and the stories of his ancestors.


the tools

Aaron told us a little about the tools he used, he said he used three basic tools. 
The straight blade, the Hook blade, and Bent blade 



If he were to carve for example a totem pole, he would use the same tools just bigger.
Depending on where you live depends on the tools you use and how you use them. Aaron said he went to New York to learn their style of cutting and the man their learn from Aaron
