6PM | A Rainbow of Fish Leather | June 15 + 18 + 20, 2024 | 6PM Pacific Time | Virtual Class
Part chemistry and part magic, in this 3 part intermediate/advanced level class we will cover the fundamentals of dyeing fish leather using 100% natural dyes, some of which are found in your home, supermarket, or garden. Together we will tan our fish skins using methods that are conducive to natural dyeing. We will explore and experiment with different dyes and discover how they interact with fish skin, ways to get the best results, and softening techniques. We will also cover many other tips, tricks and techniques that will take your home fish skin tanning practice to a new level!

Registration Fee is a SLIDING SCALE. Choose the rate that fits your financial situation. BIPOC folx on a limited budget are welcome to contact me for a discount code.
Please be mindful that if you purchase a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher ticket prices, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility. Teaching is also my sole income and livelihood. Thank you for supporting the work I do!
Based on Alexis J. Cunningfolk’s The Sliding Scale: A Tool of Economic Justice.
The sliding scale is a tool that allows for a product or service to be obtained at multiple price points based on the circumstances of the purchaser. This method allows folks who would most likely be priced out of something to have the chance to take part in it. It also seeks to address the systemic inequalities of class in our culture.
