This variable workshop is for the farmer, hunter, trapper, or anyone interested in utilizing hides of their own. I come to you with my equipment and tools, and we tan hides. Sometimes this takes the form of one hide from start to finish. Sometimes we work on several hdies at once and bring them from one stage to the next. The form is flexible and is up to the participant and their needs. Consultations can be between one to 5 days.
These workshops are scheduled year-round and take place anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, or from my workshop on Cortes Island.
Any of the classes above may be one-on-one or in private group settings. Email for enquiries.
For questions please contact Mara Cur.
