We're thrilled to be working with Danielle this we We're thrilled to be working with Danielle this weekend while she teaches a 2-day Introduction to Natural Hide Tanning. August 13 & 14, from 9-3 each day. Danielle’s path to tanning was meandering and certainly not the most obvious choice of a then vegetarian, budding biologist.   However, upon seeing and treading that path, she was drawn in and continues to go deeper into this old and arguably endangered craft.  Over the past 8 years, Danielle has sought out traditional and natural practitioners to apprentice under. Through much experiment, persistence and research, she continues to hone her practice and continues to fall deeper in love with the work.   She finds it an honour to do and share this craft, and has found that it really engages folks, and ignites an old remembering.  Based in the lovely woods of Brooke Valley, Danielle wears a few hats but feels truly called to the tending of this ancient craft, as it satisfies many needs. The desire to learn, to share, to participate in something old with one’s hands, to keep something alive and to co-create things of beauty. The art of brain and smoke tanning is a practice that mostly carried forward on turtle island.  Many communities still have very skilled practitioners and Danielle is ever thankful for the chance to share in this craft, as a settler, especially knowing that this craft and it’s remembering have slipped from some communities.  For more information and to register for this course, head to our website.

If you are curious to learn the art of hide tannin If you are curious to learn the art of hide tanning, join us for this Introduction to Natural Hide Tanning workshop with Danielle Prophet, next weekend. It is a 2-day course, with all materials included, plus fresh lunches, snacks and refreshments. SAT AUG 13 & SUN AUG 14, 9am-3pm each day. Hide tanning is an old craft, diverse and immersive – weaving physical processes, chemistry, instinct, wisdom, honed skill, patience and persistence. Northern regions the world over have worked with the skins of animals and despite the common reputation, tanning need not be a toxic and industrial activity. It can be done in a beautiful way, wherein the resulting leather is durable and supple (with no harsh chemicals being employed). Follow the link to our website in our profile, for more information and to register.
📣 WORKSHOP ANNOUNCENENT! An Introduction to Nat 📣 WORKSHOP ANNOUNCENENT! An Introduction to Natural Hide Tanning, taught by Danielle Prophet. @natural_tannery This is a two-day course, next weekend (Saturday, August 13 & Sunday, August 14), from 9am-3pm each day. Serendipitously, Danielle is our closest neighbour. So, the workshop will take place at Danielle's, while fresh lunches, snacks and refreshments will be served by us. In this workshop you will be working with a sheepskin, learning the art of brain and smoke tanning, while creating leather and a soft cushion. These sheepskins have been saved from the landfill, after the animal has been harvested for meat. Over the course of two days participants will transform their sheepskin, by way of various techniques and physical work. Participants will go home with their own finished sheepskin. Head to our website (link in profile) for more information and registration. #oldcraft #hidetanning #naturalsheepskin #naturaltannedleather #workshop #thecordwoodstudio
