A rainbow of fish leather

Elisapi Aningmiuq, left, and Janey Chang display some of the 200 fish skins tanned and dyed during a two-week workshop that ended Friday at Abe Okpik Hall in Apex. 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)
