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 in Church Street, Falmouth, and pieces may be
viewed at
the gallery, Rhythm of Blue Art Gallery, Dockyard Drive, English
Harbour,
which is open for trade on weekdays.
