Saturday, March 15th 9:30 AM - 2:30 PMBegich Middle School Art Room
With Master Artist Dick Weyiouanna
It is thought that soapstone carvings were first
created as amulets or minimalist childrens
toys. The oldest identifiable carving dates to
more than 3,00 years ago. By the time of the
first European contact, a fascination with the
art had developed among traders, and they
became highly prized trading goods. Soapstone
carvings often depict birds, bears, land and
sea mammals, human figures, and masks, and
can communicate strong emotions. Learn to
make your own carving with master artist Dick
Weyiouanna. Art teachers and staff working
with Alaska Native and American Indian
students are encouraged.
