Wednesday, March 22, 2017 9:00 - 4:00 $121.00 (lunch is not included) Class size limited to 12 students ? Parchment: The Principle Medieval Writing Material in the Era Before Paper, AKA: What To Do With A Dead Goat Hide... Everyone is aware that animal skins are used in making leather, but many people aren?t aware that in the days before mass produced paper, animal skins were used to make parchment, the most common writing material in Western civilization for over 2000 yrs. Up until the 1500s, parchment was produced all over Europe as well as the Middle East to be used in scrolls, manuscripts, etc. Join Jesse Meyer of Pergamena Parchment and Leathers as we learn the process of making parchment beginning with raw animal hides straight from the animal, through the cleaning and refining process, up to the finished writing material. Jesse Meyer has continued to refine the process to the present time and is considered one of a handful of experts in the process and material in the world. Come and try this amazing process. Students will keep the parchment they make.
