Traditional Inuit sculptors work with local stone, weathered and fossilized whalebone, ivory and antlers. The most common medium is soapstone, which varies in colour from black to green. Traditional sculptors use axes, hammers and chisels to rough out a block of stone. They then finish the work using files, rasps and sandpaper.
