Skinning and Tanning Workshop with Katie Innamorato
Date: Thursday, September 17th
Time: 1pm to 4pm
Admission: $100
Location: Morbid Anatomy Museum, 424 Third Avenue, 11215 Brooklyn
This class will introduce students to the basics of skinning and tanning hides. Students will skin their specimens; generally small items like paws or critters squirrel sized or smaller, flesh, prep, and salt their hides. A pickling and tanning kit will go home with the students so they can finish the process at home. Instructions and a demonstration will be given so the students have the knowledge to finish the process and tan more items at home.
