In this class we will turn deer hides into beautiful, soft and versatile buckskin. You will learn a method called combo-tanning which involves aspects of brain tanning and bark tanning. Buckskin is a great material for garments, bags, shoes and more.
Hide tanning is a skill that was practiced by all of our ancestors and is a skill worthy of knowing today. It is a chance to combat waste culture (most deer hides are sent to landfills) and a way to show reverence to our animal relatives. This is a perfect class for all hunters out there who want to honor all elements of the animal they take.
