Seal Bowl. Made in 1991. Comes with matching spoon. 13 1/2" by 6 7/8" by 5". Provenance: Heard Museum, Arizona; Private Collection, New York. John has been teaching Northwest Coast art in Metlakatla since 2010 when he took over the program from his father, Jack Hudson, who started the program in the 1970s. John counts himself as one of countless students who have had their lives shaped in part by Jack’s vision. He learned to make art and the tools to create it from his father. Now, John teaches the sons and daughters of Jack’s former students using the same methods, techniques, and instruments developed over 40 years ago. Helping students to celebrate their culture with professional pieces of art is a great source of pride for John. Many of his students have sold their work or have been commissioned to create custom designs for community or regional projects. John has been an active member of NEA-Alaska and the Metlakatla Education Association where he serves as President. John credits the success of his program in part to the strength of his union and their ability to advocate for academic freedom in the classroom and reflect the ideals of his community.
