This semester has been going by so fast! We have now begun preparing for the annual Christmas Ornament Sale. For the next two weeks, we will be working hard in the metal studio to create orginal, handmade ornaments made of brass. We are practising the skills we have learned so far; sawing, bending, texturing, riveting and chasing.
In addition to creating the art work to sell, we have been working on the business side of things. Creating posters for advertising, writing press releases and making business cards are all part of the business of art. Today a few of the students gave interviews to the Nunatsiaq Newspaper to help promote interest in the program and sale.
The sale is to take place at the Nunavut Arctic College Main Campus, November 27th, 2009, between 5:00 and 6:30pm. In the past this has been a very popular event and the art work goes fast!
