Brain Tanning is the traditional art of making soft, supple buckskin leather fabric out of an animals skin.  In this course each student starts out with their own "raw" animal hide.  We take the hide through a process of fleshing, de-hairing, racking, scraping, "braining", stretching, softening and smoking.  While this is an arduous process, its a rewarding one.  By the time you are finished you will have a gorgeous shammy-like deerskin to make shirts, skirts, pants, bags or moccasins from.
