Chang, a Vancouver-based artist and educator, led the workshop, organized by the Department of Community Services. Aningmiuq and 10 other participants took part in the tanning process, using bowhead whale oil, oyster shells and other natural materials. Some participants used the fish leather to create wallets and earrings. (Photo by Daron Letts)
