Learn how to make your own leather in a three day sheepskin hide tanning workshop using traditional natural hide tanning techniques and no chemicals. Great for beginners, leather workers, and anyone who wants to work with their hands. Walk away with your own hand tanned sheepskin. You may purchase the tools you'll need to continue tanning at home or you may borrow the tools from Shele for the three days. Saturday night after the workshop teaching we'll cook dinner over a fire in the field at Moon Horse Ranch.
