Join Christel in this two-part workshop, where participants will learn to turn raw fish skins into a working textile using black tea and pickerel fish skins from Lake Winnipeg. There will be some homework sent home as the fish skins need to be monitored between the 2 workshops. In the second part, participants will learn how to soften their leather and sew it into a small card holder that can be brought home. Christel will speak about some historical context of fish skin tanning, have shared discussion on how to tan and be in good relationship with land and environment as well as using leather as a regenerative textile.
