Come learn the basics of the ancient art of tanning with plant agents, otherwise known as tannins. In this hands-on, information packed class we will learn skinning, scraping, cleaning, and dehairing of skins in preparation for tanning, and preparation of solutions, scudding, assessing and finally the finishing of skins in this tanning process. Skins will be staged for students to experience all the vital steps in this method, but no one skin will be finished and students will not take home leather. This class applies to hair-off skins in the small to medium-large size range, but the skins we will see and work with will be mostly deer. This will be a mostly outdoor class with some indoor/sheltered time, wear warm clothes that can get messy.
