About
Jessie is a traditional natural hide tanner and ancestral craftsperson. Her work is deeply rooted in the Dartmoor landscape where she has a tannery in an old stone barn and teaches workshops in tanning and ancestral skills such as butchery and leather craft.
Her tannery uses locally harvested tree barks and natural oils to tan leather, furs, buckskin and rawhides. Most hides are local deer skins, redirected from waste streams. She is passionate about keeping this traditional hand skill thriving.
