I was looking forward to hearing Roy Henry Vickers talk in class today, but unfortunately with the amount of snow that we have been receiving, he was snowed in and couldn’t make it until next month.

There was a huge dump of snow over the weekend, and all over Terrace there are these piles of snow in the middle of the road where the plows just left it.  This is the second time this year that the plows have done this.  This year has been a record for snowfall I think.

It was good to be back in class today as I had a lot to catch up on.  I finished off the two-dimensional painting of my newest paddle design today and there have been a few positive comments already.

Geo Mckay, a carver from Terrace, BC, came in and did a presentation for the entrepreneur’s workshop today.  Geo is part owner of the House of Carvers in Terrace.  Geo has been carving for 45 years.  Geo has a manner about him that is very straight forward.  We learned a lot about the business of carving, from marketing to business relationships to payment options.
