Gatineau, Quebec, January 24, 2007 – Join us at the Canadian Museum of Civilization on Saturday, February 3 for a demonstration of traditional African woodworking by Gabonese artist Blaise Yvoulou. Learn the meanings and secrets associated with this age-old art form. This workshop is presented as part of Black History Month.Blaise Yvoulou learned the art of sculpting with his grandfather. In his youth, his interest in sculpting developed as rapidly as his manual skill in cutting and carving stone. Sculpture became his passion. He came to Canada as a participant in the 2001 Jeux de la Francophonie, and was so well received by Canadians that he decided to stay.
