How to Make Buckskin
Over two and one half consecutive days.
We will share and exchange this hands on approach to this ancient / traditional craft.
The best way to learn is to get amongst it.
What is Buckskin?
One of the things I really like about buckskin is that if we could look back far enough, nearly every one of us would find some ancestor who lived their lives wearing this wonderful product. Its something we all have in common.
Getting skins soft was undoubtedly one of the very first arts that ancient humans developed.
When most people think of buckskin, they envision long fringed Indians on horseback or adventurous frontiersmen on a remote mountain hunt. Little do they know that it was once as common as blue jeans. Did you know that it was the work clothes of the common labourer in the 18th century America and Europe? That General George Washington ordered buckskins to be made for the troops? Or that it was fashionable among the elite of Europe? Remember those images of men in powder white wigs, breeches and long stockings. Guess what those breeches were made of... Have you ever told a friend, "uh, that cost me a couple of bucks". Well that's because buckskin was such a common commodity of exchange in the American colonies that after the Revolution, buck became the slang for a dollar bill.
What will I get out of doing this Workshop?
A chance to learn the creative steps to make this unique product. (As our fore fathers did, slightly modernized)
A informative handout.
