In this 3 day workshop you will get to work yourself to turn a raw deer skin into a beautiful piece of leather, also known as Buckskin. We go through the whole process step by step with you: from skinning to breaking out the skins. We are also going to use fat tanning; a technique where the brain is used to lubricate the fibers of the skin. According to Niels, this technique gives the most beautiful type of leather there is. The material is incredibly strong, super soft and extremely durable. Bags, pouches and clothing are some examples of what you can make with it. What are you going to use your buckskin for?
