Braintan
Buckskin Intensive
|
|
|
|
|
| Few things are as rewarding
as making your own clothing from deer hides tanned
in the old way. In this week long course held in the
mountains near Flagstaff, you will learn the
traditional method of braintanning and then turn
your handmade buckskins into a shirt of your own. |
|
| This is a comprehensive
course that will cover both wet and dry scrape
methods along with how to make rawhide, sandals, and
leather pouches. Use of the whole animal will be
covered including how to process sinew (tendon) for
use in sewing, how to make bone points, awls, and
needles, and how to make jerky. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hides, scrapers, all teaching materials,
and 2 meals a day are included. Held in an outfitted wilderness
basecamp so participants may bring any gear they need to be
comfortable (tent, sleeping bag, etc...). |
|
|
|
|
| For those interested in
pursuing braintanning beyond this course, we also
offer month-long apprenticeships specifically focusing
on this unique skill area.
