SUMMARY:Hide Tanning Workshop: Part One
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This is a 2 day workshop spread out over a month. Please check to make sure you are able to attend on BOTH 9/26 and 10/17 from 10:00am-4:00pm \nDuring this 2 day workshop learn the ancient art of tannin-bath hide tanning. Hide tanning\, the process that turns animal skin into durable leather\, has been done for thousands of years all across the globe. Today this craft is a rewarding hobby that allows us to honor the lives of the animals who gave us these hides. The hides that will be used in this workshop are hides from Hidden Villa sheep. \nOn the first day of the workshop 9/26\,  participants will learn how to scrape and wash hides. After soaking in the tannin bath\, participants will come back\, 10/17\, to stretch and dry their hides. At the end of the workshop participants will take home a finished hide\, an embodied new skill\, a step-by step guide\, and a connection with their cohort. \n  \nInstructor Background: \nTamar Ingber has been hide-tanning as a practice since 2020\, with a focus on small ruminants. She has worked with a variety of ranches\, using both egg/smoke and tannin-bath methods\, to produce beautiful hides. She is passionate about sharing the process of transformation from a raw pelt into a sustainable material for our lives. \nTamar shares this course honoring her Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry\, and a thread of connection to fiber creation. She chooses to share this ancestral skill\, held by many cultures and people\, as a way to connect each participant to their roots\, and this skill. \nGood to Know\nThis is a 2 day workshop spread out over a month. Please check to make sure you are able to attend on BOTH 9/26 and 10/17. \nAll workshop materials and tools are provided. Please bring lunch for each day of the workshop. Fridge and microwave are available. \nThis class will take place primarily outside. Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for the weather. \nCost\n$650/person \nRegistration fee pays for both days of this workshop. At the end of the workshop participants will take home their finished hide. \nThis program requires a minimum of 8 participants to hold the program. If we do not reach the minimum\, we will notify and refund all registrants.
