Sample topics:
l Brain
Tan Buckskin: with modern hand-tools. Students take a hide from start to
finish through the tanning process, and keep the results of their work. This
can be taught as a two or three day class.
l “Stone
Tool” Brain Tanning: with the stone, bone or wood tools of pre-contact
Native Americans. Students learn how to efficiently make and use these
traditional tools to take their hides from start to finish through the
tanning process. Results are just as good as with modern tools, but with
about 20% more effort. This can be taught as a two or three day class.
l
Rawhide, Bark-tan & Brain-tan: Learn how to make each of these
traditional skin products by taking a hide from start to finish through each
process. 5 days.
l
Moccasins, Pouches & Buckskin Clothing: Learn the ins and outs of
working with brain tan buckskin while creating your own custom item.
l
Presentations, Lectures and Consulting: Any of the above topics plus the
early history of tanning, analysis of old leathers, Neolithic and
Paleolithic tanning tools. |
