I am trying to figure out what interest there is in a 3 hour long introduction to traditional hide tanning? The class would cover braintanning (fur on and fur off) along with bark tanning. This would not be a hands on class, only an introduction and demonstration of all the steps (much like a cooking show).
1 hour: Brain tan of sheep hides and buckskin
2 hour: Bark tan
3 hour: trouble shooting people's hides they already have (to bring up random real world examples of
how to make things work and options available.)
The class would happen at a homestead in Olympia, WA and would cost $50-$75 sliding scale. I'm thinking an early summer weekend for the date.
Any interest? Questions?
