You will:
Wet scrape a reindeer skin
You will need to tan additionally 5-8 more on your own if you want to make a full set of clothes in the Spring Immersion
Dry scrape a moose hide
Together with members of the group each person will receive equal parts of the tanned skin (suitable for moccasins)
Bark tan a reindeer skin (Either with hair on or off) and a fish skin
Fat tan a small fur bearer such as a marten or fox
To complete all these projects you can count on a lot of hard work, you need to be physically fit, this class is not a vacation!
Additional hides are not included in the class price.
The classes will be on a formal 5 days on, 5 days off schedule. During the “off” days you will need to continue working on the hides in their various stages. To produce enough hides for clothing, bags, moccasins and many other applications that will be taught during the Spring Immersion you will have the skills to continue tanning after the class is over.
During the month we will become a small clan and find that there are many more secrets to unravel in community living besides just hide tanning!
