<br>>event held May 18th and 19th at The Meyer Family Tannery and Jesse's<br>>studio, in Montgomery New York. It will include:<br>> - Demonstrations of initial wetwork. (dehairing, fleshing, etc.)<br>> - Soaking and hands on stretching of a calfskin and a goatskin.
<br>> - Scraping, sanding and finishing of the skins of your choice.<br>>Each participant will go home with a fair colored calfskin,a<br>>goatskin, dyed a color of your choice, and probably some dirty<br>>clothes. The cost of the workshop will be $225 (which will include
<br>>the cost of the raw skins). These workshops have always been a blast<br>>for all involved, as well as being an in-depth education and an<br>>opportunity to purchase parchment and vellum at the studio.<br>>Participation will be limited to 12 people.
