Did you ever wonder how to make buckskin? Want to try it?

In this 3 days workshop you will make a beautiful piece of leather out of a raw deer skin all by yourself!

We will go through the whole process step by step; from defleshing to smoking the skins. We will use fat tanning. The material will be incredibly strong, super soft and very sustainable. You can make bags, pouches, clothing and much more out of it!

What will you make of your buckskin?
