Come join us on the farm and learn the art of transforming a raw deerskin into a beautiful soft buckskin through the age old natural process of brain tanning. 🦌✨️
We've turned a multi-day activity into a one day experience.
This is an introductory workshop where you will learn the art of making buckskin, an incredibly strong, soft and supple natural leather made by preserving the skin of an animal using emulsified oils and smoke. It can be used to make clothes, bags, moccasins, etc.
In this 1 day workshop you will experience and have the opportunity to participate in every step of the process that typically takes at least 3 days to complete. The day will begin with raw deerhides and we will follow the process through the day ending with finished smoked buckskins. There will be prepared hides ready at each stage in order to understand and experience the entire process in this condensed time frame without feeling the pressure and commitment of taking on the entire process on your own. Participants will leave this workshop with the hands on experience, knowledge, and confidence along with step by step instructions in order to recreate the process on their own!
