Welcome to Anana!Home of Custom Made Arctic Sculptures and Carvings Hand crafted by skilled stone carvers, these sculptures and carvings capture the simple form signature of the Inuit people. Created from from stone such as soapstone, alabaster and serpentine and other materials such as wood, bone and baleen, these one of a kind sculptures capture traditional images such as the animals of the far north crucial for the survival of the native people and the inuksuk (inukshuk) that once guided them through the hostile terrain they called home. These carvings and sculptures are a perfect way for you to bring a piece of the arctic and Inuit culture home with you!
Anana is an a Inuktitut word that means "beautiful" and that perfectly describes the Arctic environment, its peoples, and its traditional art! It is the love we here at Anana hold for it and the knowledge of its magic that drives us to want to make everyone below 66 dg north latitude aware of what wonders lie undiscovered up there beneath the Aurora Borealis!
Please take a look around the site, The Gallery shows the carvings and sculptures you might want to purchase, the Artic Adventures section describes audio/visual presentations we make of our arctic adventures, the Workshops section explains how we can help you learn to carve, the How to Carve link describes the stone carving process we use, and our Visual Impairment link tells you how we can assist you in making your museum or other exhibits accessible to people who are blind or have low vision. Additional links aim you at stone carving suppliers, travel information, adventure travel outfitters, and places to learn more about the Inuit people and their art. On anana, you can buy a carving or sculpture, be entertained by our stories of the arctic, and even learn to carve the same style peices the Inuit people do, so please, browse away! |

Own your own Inukshuk! "Ilanaaq", the mascot logo of the 2010 Winter Olympics, located on Whistler Mountain in Canada, is not only the symbol of the 2010 Winter Olympics, but is also a deeply symbolic part of the Innuit heritage and tradition. And now you can have your very own inukshuk, hand crafted by master craftsmen, in your very own home (slightly smaller than the one pictured of course!) |
