Registration period: May 12 - May 26

Our ancestors utilized many parts of the animals they harvested; candles, skin moisturizing heel balms, soaps, water-proofing fabrics, fire starters, etc. All of these things can be made from deer fat (tallow). Come learn how to convert animal fat into tallow candles. You'll have the opportunity to create your own candle by the end of the class.

Only registered participants may attend program.
