Crafts in the Outdoors: Deerskin Pouch Making

Learn the skills needed to fashion your own deerskin pouch. The Ohlone used deerskin for a variety of purposes. We will make small pouches together to hone our skills. We’ll lace our pouches and add decorative beads. Deerskin is luxurious to the touch, feels cool in summer and warm in winter. It is lightweight and breathable, and stays soft even after getting wet repeatedly.

Enrollment is limited. Minimum 12 years of age to participate. Led by Steve Stolper, Certified California Naturalist. Questions? Call Hope at 408-262-5513 ext.104.
