Students experience the level of skill required of an Inuit artisan by shaping and polishing their own soapstone pendant to take home. Drawing from traditional and present day objects students learn about the different uses of soapstone in both its practical and symbolic functions, its physical proprieties, and Moh’s hardness scale.
