Traditional Tanning Workshop @ Cootame
Oct 28 @ 9:00 am – Oct 29 @ 5:00 pm
Traditional Tanning Workshop @ Cootame | Monkerai | New South Wales | Australia

At this weekend workshop you will learn practical skills of traditional hide tanning that can be done in a home environment using all natural ingredients and everyday materials and tools.  You will assist your instructors as they demonstrate each step of the process to tan a complete goatskin into soft breathable leather. After practicing on the goat skin, you will fully tan a rabbit pelt to take home.

This course is run in conjunction with skilled traditional tanner Ei Yang, from Renourish Rewild.

It does take time, but leather tanning is a personally rewarding and useful self-sufficiency skill.

 

Fully catered weekend with camping accommodation (bring your own camping equipment or stay in a natural shelter)
