€90.00

COMING SOON

Making something beautiful out of something that is considered waste in modern society.

Turning fish skins into leather is an ancient craft that is slowly disappearing. Although fish leather may sound unusual, it is an extremely strong material and was historically widely used to make clothing, shoes, bags, decorations, and more. During this full day workshop, you will learn how to tan fish skins into strong and highly durable leather. This tanning process has been intertwined with human history for centuries. Tanning is an almost magical process in which you see the skin transform before your eyes into a beautiful new material. Be warned: this is something you might easily become addicted to ;)

What will you learn?
