Try your Hand at Scrimshaw At Workshops in Beaufort Starting at 10 a.m.Thursday, Jime 14, guests at the Beaufort Historic site will have an opportunity to participate in a scrimshaw workshop led by volunteer Ed Bloxom. Scrimshaw is usually defined as carving or embellishment of ivory or bone. Yet, today's definition wouldmore likely be thought of as the intricate incising or engraving of ivoiy to produce images of imbelievable detail. The scrimshaw craft began as a "waste not, want not" method practiced by native himters. Not wanting to waste the teeth and bones of the animals they hunted for food, native cultures invented an entirely new style of art that is one of a handful of truly original American art forms. Today scrimshaw is still practiced by masters of the art and their work is highly sought after and collected. Perhaps the most noted collector was President John F. Kennedy, who displayed many of his most cherished pieces of ivory scrimshaw in the Oval Office of the White House. Ed Bloxom, a multi-talented craftsman, is a master of the scrimshaw process and resident of Havelock. Join him for this Living History program and participate There is a materials fee of $20.00.
