We would like to invite you to this month's Rewilding Skill Series. The Rewilding Free Skills Series is a class & networking event that happens monthly, that usually occurs (but not always) on the last Saturday of the month. It is a place for social networking where people make new friends and hang out with old friends learning skills to connect us with humanity's ancestral past and more local and sustainable future. We ask for a $5 - $10 suggested donation with no one turned away.

This month's theme is Hide-Tanning. Ever wonder how to convert skin into leather? Humans have been tanning hides for thousands of years, using various methods. With a cooking show style demo, we will take participants through two popular methods; brain-tanning and bark-tanning. There will be some hands-on activities, as well as an opportunity for folks to share their own experiences with this practice.
