Scrimshaw is the ancient sailors' folk art of engraving whale teeth and other exotic materials found on shipboard, in order to make gifts for loved ones or useful articles for sale or trade amongst shipmates.
Michael Strzalkowski (Scrim) sailed into English Harbour in 1976 and established himself as a scrimshaw artist. He has since established a reputation for fine, original work, specialising in custom commissions.
The studio is located on the south facing verandah of the Officers' Quarters in Nelson's Dockyard, English Harbour, and is open for trade on weekdays.
