The word tanning comes from the old german Tanenbaum which originally referred to Oak or Fir trees- both rich sources of tannin.  Tannin is a medicinal constituent of plant skin used to defend the plant from infection, or being eaten.  When this medicine is extracted in water it has the potential to bind to the fiber network of animal skins creating a synthesis of animal and plant skin- Leather!  Prior to the 1800s and the advent of poisonous toxic metal tanning practices this is the way most leather was made. Thru word and deed I am keeping this ancient, beautiful and medicinal art alive, by teaching, creating, and loving natural and wild plants and animals and all the many ways they can come together.  Feel free to contact me if you desire a custom piece or want to host or organize a class on hide tanning, shoe making, leather working, etc.
