Shamanic rattles and salmon skin tanning workshops

 Fish skin tanning is an ancient craft that makes use of what is seen as a waste product as well as a sacred skill in honouring the fish. We will be learning how to tan salmon skin from scratch as well as softening a pre tanned one to make beautiful leather so you get to work with the whole process. You will also have opportunity to make a small medicine pouch with the leather to take home. The workshop will be held outdoors at Grown your Joy near Chorley, Lancashire and a great space just to be in nature and re connect. This is a rarely taught skill and a great opportunity to learn this process using a user friendly way of tanning that only takes 1-2 weeks to do and can open the door to a sustainable and ancient way of working.
The class will be under 10 people and you will get to take what you make home as well as a fish skin in a jar to finish at home and look after.
The Venue is Grow your Joy, near Charnock Richard, Chorley, Lancashire
The cost of the workshop is £80 

A deposit can be made of £20 to secure your place.
