Service Description

Buckskin is not just a material; it's a testament to nature's ingenuity and our ancestors' wisdom. It's durable, yet flexible; tough, yet tender against the skin. From October 1-4, join us for a hands-on workshop where you'll master the ancient art of brain tanning. This immersive course offers more than just a skill—it's a deep dive into honoring and connecting with the natural world, particularly the deer, whose gifts allow us to create everything from clothing and moccasins to bags and blankets. You'll learn: - The step-by-step process of transforming deer hide into luxurious buckskin. - Techniques to make your creations durable, washable, and incredibly soft. - Ways to honor the spirit of the deer throughout the tanning process, deepening your connection to both the craft and the earth. Whether you're looking to craft your own gear or simply immerse yourself in a transformative ancestral practice, this workshop is your gateway to a world of natural creativity and sustainable living. Stay tuned for location details, and get ready to turn your dreams into tangible, buckskin creations.
