Hide Tanning Workshop

We will host a hide tanning workshop facilitated by Kristi Gansworth, who will lead students through the process of scraping and preparing deer hide. This session emphasizes embodied learning, collaborative practice, and understanding the cultural and material responsibilities involved with working with nonhuman beings. Students will work directly with the hide, assisting and learning.

The activity will happen outside and will involve working with fire; thus, we recommend that participants dress warmly and bring a change of clothes. Hot beverages and warm food will be provided. Participants will have access to a warming station and restrooms for the entire duration of the workshop.

Location: Fire Pit, Massena Campus
