Virtual Year-Round Hide Tanning

There are many ways to tan hides. This 3-part online series shares how I work on hides year-round to make smoked, brain-tanned hide. This series is an accumulation of 8 years of knowledge gathering and skill building. I share from my experience, which is mostly with moose hides and frost scraping, however I will share a bit about dry scraping. The techniques I share can be used for other animal hides.

Testimonials

“I work with students of all different ages, K-12, by taking Kanina's virtual hide work course I learned how to tan hides, how to get students involved with hide work and also how each step of the process works. Hide work has become a favourite for me and my students. I can’t recommend this course enough. She’s an incredible teacher!”
