This class is for the complete beginner OR those who wish to solidify their understanding of the fish skin tanning process using tannins.

Join in from anywhere in the world and learn the beautiful, simple process of transforming raw fish skins into a supple, durable leather. This strong textile can be used to make clothing, wallets, footwear, earrings, art and anything you would use leather for.

In this TWO PART online class, we will explore the foundations of tanning using supplies you will find around your home. You will know everything you need to know to start your own Kitchen Tannery!

Intermediate level tanners will deepen their understanding of the process and perhaps learn some new techniques. You will make a rich brown supple leather from this class.

You are encouraged to work along side me in order to get the most out of the class.

NOTE: This class is TWO sessions and will be held virtually on Zoom. You will receive a link after you register. If you are new to Zoom, find out more here.

A supply list will be emailed within 48 hours after registration. PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE ADDED JANEYSEA@GMAIL.COM TO YOUR SAFE EMAIL LIST.

BIPOC folks, if finances are keeping you from learning this skill, please contact me to ask about scholarship opportunities.

Registration Fee is a SLIDING SCALE for the two part class: Choose to pay ONE of the amounts in the drop down pricing menu. There are a set number of spaces available for each price point.

Fees are 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.

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!
