Dozens of Wayne Hewson’s poles stand at Ketchikan’s Rainforest Sanctuary. “He showed me that other carvers aren’t my competition — that, you know, you could always learn something from somebody,” said William Bolton, who remembers Hewson as a mentor.
Carver Wayne Hewson works on a Killer Whale Clan pole for a potlatch in 1994 in Metlakatla. When things were good, they were groovy. When something was cool, it was far out.
Boxley worked on six poles with Hewson — including Hewson’s first pole, raised in 1994 at Metlakatla’s senior center. The younger Boxley remembers how Hewson loved to play music — he was well-known for his affinity for rock-and-roll. His instruments of choice were the drums and guitar. William Bolton met Hewson through the Fourth Generation group. Chuckling, he joked that he always thought Hewson was a little odd.
“I think the biggest thing is that he was always willing to give people advice,” Bolton said. “And, he never did it in a way that could be taken as mean or attacking anybody. Just that he was willing to share his knowledge that he had, and didn’t judge anybody for not knowing something.”In the days since Hewson’s death, Bolton said he’s been reflecting on what the man taught him about carving.
