The Jewellery and Metalwork program at the Nunavut Arctic College, is located in the northern Canadian capital of Iqaluit, Nunavut. The program is dedicated to refinement of metalworking skills and the production of fine jewellery and metalwork. The program focuses on the traditional Inuit subject matter while encouraging creativity and experimentation. In addition to metalwork, we study Drawing & Design, Printmaking, Inuit and Art history, as well as, Business and Communication for artists.
Sakku is the Inuktitut word for spearhead. Sannavit means studio. We thought this was a good name for the studio because the Sakku is a important traditional tool used in the Inuit culture. It also represents us 'spearheading' new skills and talent through artistic expression, while giving us the foundation to build a career in jewellery making.
