SUMMARY:Leather: Traditional Buckskin Braintanning
DESCRIPTION:Step into one of the oldest traditional crafts in North America and learn the complete process of creating authentic braintanned buckskin from raw animal hides. In this immersive four-part course\, instructor Nolan Morningstar will guide students through every stage of the transformation process using time-honored techniques and hands-on instruction. \nOver the course of four workshop sessions\, students will flesh\, grain\, membrane\, brain\, soften\, and smoke their hides while learning the science\, history\, and practical skills behind traditional hide tanning. Each class builds on the previous session\, allowing participants to experience the full progression from raw hide to finished buckskin. \nThe workshop will take place September 5\, 12\, 26 & 27 from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Individual guidance will be provided throughout the process\, and students will receive handouts to support continued learning beyond the workshop. \nParticipants may work individually on their own hide or partner with another student to share a hide and alternate tasks. Students under 16 should attend with an adult partner. \n\n\n\nWhat’s included\n\n\nAll hide tanning materials and instructional handouts. \n\n\nUse of instructor-provided tanning tools and equipment during class. \n\n\nHands-on instruction throughout all four workshop sessions. \n\n\n\n\nWhat’s not included\n\n\nTransportation to and from class. \n\n\nNon-alcoholic beverages \n\n\nsnacks \n\n\nClothing suitable for messy outdoor work. \n\n\n\n\nItinerary\n\nThis is a physically demanding workshop that involves scraping\, wringing\, stretching\, and outdoor work. \nStudents should wear clothes and footwear that can get dirty or stained. \nSome workshop sessions must be spaced apart to allow proper hide processing between stages. \nfinal smoking will be completed by the instructor after class for later pickup. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Intentional Art: Mosaics\, Memory\, and Making Whole
DESCRIPTION:Join mosaic artist Brenda Fraser for a conversation about making art and finding healing using things many people throw away. \nBrenda assembles mosaics from vintage jewelry and found objects as a way to honor matrilineal lineage. Her work draws on the natural world\, the American West\, and a deep conviction that beauty and wholeness can emerge from broken things—discarded and overlooked objects that still carry memory\, energy\, and meaning. \nBrenda will share her background and creative journey\, walk participants through her process\, and reflect on her time in residence at Shadowcliff. She will bring samples of her work. \nThis talk is part of Shadowcliff’s 2026 Still Point Sessions residencies\, bringing artists to the mountains for a week of creative work in Grand Lake. \n2026 Still Point Sessions residencies have been supported\, in part\, by a grant from the Town of Grand Lake Donor Advised Fund.
