Scrimshaw, the art of engraving on bone or ivory, was a pastime activity by whalers in the 19th century. The Scrimshaw artist Brian Kiracofe, based in Newport, Rhode Island, will guide you through the maritime world of scrimshaw by first carving on a vegetable ivory (a tagua nut) and then on an ancient mammoth ivory.
