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.
