Fish Skin Tanning @ Medicine Festival
Come and learn the ancient art of fish skin tanning.
Using wild salmon skins, you’ll discover how to transform fish skin into beautiful, strong, textured leather — then create your own keychain pouch, earrings or brooch to take home.
More than just a craft workshop, this is a skill for life. Fish skin tanning can be done with simple tools, patience and your own hands, making it an accessible ancestral skill you can continue practising at home.
For anyone drawn to wild craft, natural materials, resourcefulness and the beauty of making something from what would otherwise be discarded.
