Testimonials from Wild Abundance hide tanning students:
Ashley Wiggins
I had zero experience doing anything with animal hides before this...Wild Abundance gave me the knowledge, and the experience to venture out on my own in hide tanning...
Owen Doll
Beforehand, I had a basic knowledge of the process of brain tanning, but I had no idea where to even begin...Natalie’s expertise is incredible, as her insights surely saved me many hours of work and much frustration. It was an absolute pleasure
Franchesca Lopez
I lie more on the vegetarian side of eating...I learned that a lot of hides get thrown away. While someone else enjoys the meat and antlers I learned I could make something beautiful with their hide...You’ll totally be able to do it.
