Norman Seaweed

Norman Seaweed was born and raised in Alert Bay, British Columbia, Canada.   His mother's family is from  Village Island and his father's family is from Turnour Island.   The family Kwakiutl crest is the Kulus, a supernatural bird in the likeness of a baby Thunderbird.  The Kulus was covered in down and became overheated by its down.  As the Kulus started to shed the down it turned into the form of a human and was given incredible strength.  Strong enough to lift the main beams poles for houses into place.

Norman was trained by a well known BC carver, Lloyd Wadhams.  He was always interested in drawing, then moved into wood carving and from there, into silver and gold. Norman is the middle remaining son.  His brothers Alfred and Paddy are also well renowned jewelry carvers. 

Silver FX carries many of Norman Seaweed's designs.  His is an excellent carver, his designs are beautiful and timeless pieces of art.  Each piece we carry is signed by the artist.   See our BC Native Jewelry section to view and purchase some of his wonderful designs.
