Clayton Albany
I am a Songhees band member from the Lekwungen territory in beautiful Victoria British Columbia. I have been carving since the age of 10 under a traditional carving apprenticeship. I have worked under many artists, including Clarence Dick Jr, Ned Matilpi, Fabian Quocksister, and Dylan Thomas. I do custom commissioned carvings, personalized artwork and have a variety of pre made carvings available for purchase.
