ACHF Cultural Heritage
Sara Mehalick will learn the skills and cultural history of bark tanning well enough to teach and practice her craft independently. Scogin Zimmermann and I will evaluate my learning in an apprenticeship journal, which will include a written and photographic record of our work together. 2: The traditional leather arts community will gain an understanding of the art and cultural history of making bark tanning. Audience surveys will be completed by all participants of community events to evaluate the impact of the workshops on their understanding of the process and history of bark tanning.
