Announcing: 4-Season Moose Hide Tanning Learning Opportunities
Tackling a moose hide might feel daunting to you! It did to me and it took me a few years to complete a moose hide real good. I found what worked for me is tanning moose hides throughout the year. With support from the Canada Council for the Arts, I will be sharing the 4-season approach I use to turn raw moose hide into soft, smoked hide. Each season I will host virtual and in-person events to share the steps I do in that season.
