• Hide Tanning Part 2: Hands-on Tanning (webinar) will take place from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday, April 30, at
Trevanna Grenfell of the Wildwood Path will host the second part of this month’s tanning webinars. The workshop will feature real-time instruction and video-based support. Part 1 (held April 16), explained how to get set up to tan hides at home. During this part 2 workshop, instructors will alternate blocks of time for instruction with blocks of time for participants to work on their own projects — preparing tanning baths, working on hides and setting yourselves up for long-term hide tanning ease.

This workshop is on a sliding scale basis because this is a new format and because many are experiencing financial hardship in these difficult times. Pay what you can afford, keeping in mind MOFGA’s goals are to cover costs, pay instructors and extend this learning opportunity to many in our community.
