Description | 1870 – 1938 Charlie James was well-known for the revitalization of the Kwakwaka’wakw style of carving. His work had a strong, experimental style that appeared to be more free-formed. Unlike the previous generation of carvers, he used bright and vibrant colours while the figures appeared to be in a more natural state. Charlie’s creative influence laid the foundation for such renowned Northwest Coast artists; such as Mungo Martin, Ellen Neel and Henry Hunt. It epitomized what is considered by many to be the traditional southern Kwakwaka’wakw style. He was stepfather to Mungo Martin and mentored him into becoming an internationally-acclaimed artist in his own right. Charlie James’ work can be found in many public institutions and has been reproduced in numerous publications. |

Spoons and ladles were traditionally made from either cedar wood or the horn of a mountain sheep, and their handles were carved with family crest images. Historically, these exquisitely sculptured objects were primarily created by people in Northern Nations, and were highly sought after by other nations. During potlatches [festive gatherings], cedar ladles decorated with the hosting family’s crests were used to serve food, while the elaborately carved mountain sheep spoons were distributed as gifts among the many guests.
Today, spoon and ladle productions are based on these traditional objects and are meant to be both objects of function and display. In addition to traditional mediums such as cedar wood, goat or mountain sheep horn, many modern-day spoons and ladles are constructed of gold, silver and pewter.
