Let's Get Crafty: Fish Leather Making
Advertisement
Leather is all around us in our daily lives, but did you know that when you tan fish skin you can create a durable and strong leather? Join Titus Seilheimer, Fisheries Specialist with Wisconsin Sea Grant, for a hands-on learning experience.
In this two-part class we will spend a full day together (December 4) preparing the skins and then starting the tanning process. After a week of self-directed steps (don’t worry, you won’t have to do much), we will gather together again (December 11 from 9 am-12 pm) to complete the final steps and you will leave with your very own piece of tanned fish leather from a local fish species.
There will be a break for lunch so feel free to bring something to eat or take a moment to pop over to you favorite local restaurant.
🎟️ All materials provided – just bring your curiosity!
💛 Free & Open to the Public!
