Intro to Hide Tanning
2023-06-10 10:00 - 15:00 | Ross Farm Museum
Intro to Hide Tanning
Instructor: Maggie Oickle with Maggie’s Natural World
When: June 10th & 11th (two separate classes) **10:00am – 3:00pm**
Where: Ross Farm Museum, 4568 Highway #12, New Ross, NS
Course description: Join Maggie Oickle for an Introduction to Hide tanning! She will be breaking down the process with her visual step-by-step guide to show you how to go, start to finish, turning hides into leather. As you go through the day and information, you will have some examples of hides in various stages, and the tips and tricks that will help you in your hide tanning journey. She will also touch base on other types of hides, and some similarities and differences she has come across between deer, rabbit, cow, coyote, and bear hides as she works with them. You will also go over the tools required, and some startup items, as well as have an opportunity to stretch a hide yourself as you go into the afternoon. This is a reduced-cost workshop, as it is the summer, there are burn bans, which means the hands-on portion is a little less than our winter workshops.
What you need to bring: We will be inside, please feel free to bring paper and pen. We will have some extras. Maggie will have the information available in digital copy or hard copy for purchase the day of the event, as well.
Refreshments: There will be a coffee and tea bar set up for you to enjoy in the museum gift shop for purchase, with some light refreshments provided by Maggie.
Price: $100/per person, and $75 for a second seat! (Bring a friend!)
To sign up: Email melanie.munroe@novascotia.ca with your name, phone number, and number of guests attending the info session.
**PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE FULL WORKSHOP, THIS IS AN INFORMATION SESSION TO TEACH YOU, AS WE CANNOT HAVE FIRES TO SMOKE THE HIDES.**
