Tanning Deer Skins Naturally/**/ --/**/ 9 am/**/ --/**/ 5/**/ pm,/**/ Friday,/**/ April 30/**/ to Sunday,/**/ May 2/**/ --/**/ Southeast of Austin -/* During this 3-day intensive you will use traditional home-spun tanning techniques to take a deer hide from the raw state to a finished, luxurious, soft, strong buckskin. Did you know you can wash buckskin in the machine just like other clothes? Goat herders - the techniques are the same so you can make lots of value added products from your herd. Each participant will be given their own deer skin to work and take home upon completion. We will provide all the necessary tools, materials, and guidance. Each day we will start at 9 am and go until you are complete for that day, ending typically around 5 pm. We will have on-site, primitive camping with evening activities for Friday and Saturday nights. Our primary instructor is Red Louvish. Red is a professional brain tanner living in the Austin, TX area. Red has been a featured teacher at Rabbitstick and Wintercount primitive skills gatherings. One feel of a skin that Red has tanned will convince you of his qualifications. Supple, light, and strong. Red's works are for sale locally at the Bastrop Producers Market on Hwy 71 East of Austin. The cost of the workshop is only $325. Learn a skill that will last a lifetime. Class size will be limited so we can have a high student to instructor ratio.

Alternate rain dates are May 22-24, 2010.
