Learning to Embroider Alirtiit<br />
The Nunavik Art Workshop takes place every fall around<br />
October. Sammy Kudluk, who works at the <strong>Makivik</strong>’s Economic<br />
Development Department, organizes the event. Carving soapstone,<br />
jewellery making, printmaking and sewing usually<br />
takes place. Last October the sewing lessons<br />
were about the embroidery of alirtiit<br />
(knee-high duffel footwear). In previous<br />
Nunavik Art Workshops the sewing students<br />
learned to make amarutik, sealskin<br />
bags, kamiks, as well as other items.<br />
Victoria Okpik of Nunavik Creations<br />
decided to attend this event because<br />
she was personally interested in learning<br />
more techniques of embroidery and<br />
it also connected with her work. It is a<br />
good way for her to keep closely connected<br />
to the sewing styles of Nunavik.<br />
Nunavik Creations designs sealskin leg<br />
warmers of embroidered duffel similar to alirtiit, but without<br />
the foot portion attached.<br />
Inuluk Qisiiq from Kangiqsujuaq taught the embroidery<br />
lessons. She has been embroidering beautiful alirtiit since<br />
she attended the same kind of workshop couple of years<br />
