The
Copper,
after which the gallery
is named, is a traditional symbol
of
wealth to the Kwagu'l people. |
An unforgettable experience awaits visitors to the world-famous
Copper Maker Gallery in Fort Rupert
Village, the heart of Kwagu'l territory. We are just
10 minutes south of the BC Ferries Terminal at Port Hardy,
British Columbia.
Inhale the healthy aroma of cedar in the
downstairs workshop, where you can watch carvers transform
the 'Tree of Life' into beautiful original Northwest Native
art works.
Step up to the gallery, with a sundeck overlooking
beautiful Beaver Harbour, and see traditional works by some
of the Northwest's most talented Native artists. Fine
museum quality Native art works include masks, canoes, original
hand-processed silkscreen prints, Stephen K. Hunt model canoes
and paddles and hand-engraved original sterling silver jewellery.
