Fur, by contrast, is a natural, sustainable, and renewable resource. A fur product is remarkably long-lasting, it can be restyled and recycled. Fur is biodegradable. In the fur workshop, you will first learn about the uniqueness of this product. That’s why we call it the “Honest Fabric”.

Seal, Beaver, Fox, Mink, Marten, Bobcat, and Canada Lynx are some of the skins you’ll have the opportunity to learn about their particularities and characteristics. We will demonstrate to you all those exclusive techniques that each one of the skins requires individually, as well as, the right time to handle them. The tools and machinery required for processing will be available to you through the courses. In which you will be extensively shown on the use of fur technology today. The last step of this 6-day course will be the understanding of pattern designs. You will learn about the use of patterns, and the mathematics involved, starting from the simplest to the most complicated. All of the above will eventually lead to your knowledge of understanding the furrier’s profession.
