Shopping Clyde River carvers work in whalebone, soapstone, granite, antler and ivory. The Northern store sells high-quality, pricey carvings, souvenirs and the largest selection in town of dry goods, clothing and food. An outfitter can direct you to carvers, artisans and traditional sewers so you can watch them make stone and ivory carvings, traditional tools and skin clothing. To purchase arts and crafts, contact a community tour guide through Apitak Development Corporation or an outfitter who will help you visit carvers to view their work. Igutaq, a small arts and crafts workshop near the Northern store, showcases articles sewn by hand by local seamstresses.
