LESSON: NORTH AMERICA: SOAP CARVING
Explore carving around the Arctic Region exploring the Inuits
and their tradition of carving ivory. The
Inuit people live in the far northern areas of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. Traditionally, they carved in
ivory but later turned to soapstone. Journey to the Arctic and learn a
tradition in simple carving using a bar of soap to simulate ivory. On your own,
progress in carving other materials such as ice, soapstone, or wood.
