Mitch Adams

Born 1961, Prince Rupert, BC

Mitch Adams comes from a long line of carvers, weavers and musicians. His father, Ivan Adams, is a skilled Haida carver, engraver, and musician who passed his talents on to Adams, teaching him how to engrave jewellery and carve wood (paddles, frontlets and bowls) in his youth.

 Living in Terrace, BC, Adams just recently graduated from the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art, where he was taught design and carving skills by distinguished artists Ken McNeil, Stan Bevan and Dempsey Bob. One of Mitch's designs, "Moon Cycle," was used by the Terrace Literacy Program in 2010. He is presently working in several different mediums including wood (Alder, Cedar and Yew), silver, gold, copper, and pewter.
