You are purchasing a recording of an online class taught online via ZOOM in April 2024.

Here is the original description:

An online seminar surveying plants containing tannins across Turtle Island for Natural Dyers, Hide Tanners and Herbalists and how to use them, in order to connect to the plants as they intersect craft and medicine.

We will get into different regions, and do a Q & A and discussion at the end where folks can ask about certain plants and also share their experiences.

as someone who has traveled all over, I’ve managed to tan leather using 95% harvested plants. I also make medicine on the road and gather dye materials when I find them. There are also ways to gather plants in a wild-tending and mindful reciprocity fashion and we will discuss this also with the plants we discuss.

We’ll talk a little about some of the popular tannins folks buy from around the world and contextualize some of them in ecological context.

we live in a global world and It’s impossible to always be in direct connection or know where everything comes from or how to be in direction connection when trying to work with land based craft and medicine. But, the least we can do is try bit my bit to educate ourselves on what is possible.
