Raw, Salted, Icelandic Sheepskins- for Virtual Tanning Course (Ship on Oct 27th)

My virtual hide tanning course is open for 2025!!!

Enroll on my Patreon, https://www.patreon.com/tasteofthewind/membership and get started watching the videos and downloading the content for the 6 different modules.

In this course, I will walk you through how to:

-Source hides

-Preserve hides until you are ready to tan them

-Flesh/clean the skin side

-Tan a hide using fats such as brains, tallow, and/or egg yolks. (Cow/buffalo/elk hides are not recommended for this course because they require additional steps and are much more labor intensive.) 

-Smoke a hide to preserve the work you have done in the previous steps

If you would like to purchase a salted, raw sheepskin from the Taste of the Wind flock, I will be shipping those out on October 27th, you can also select Local Pickup and coordinate with me to pick yours up at the Farm after the 23rd of October.

You will have first-choice as a Sheepskin Course Student, and will be able to purchase your hide of choice on this order page. You are more than welcome to use your own hide for this course as well!

I would absolutely love it if you could send me a photo of you with your tanned masterpiece, when you are finished. I will post your photo on my social media and website to show the world the newest member of this awesome waste-saving and traditional-skill-preserving community!

Thanks, and see you inside the course!
