Welcome to The Reclawmation Studio!
I'm Sparrow, an artist based in the Far North of Aotearoa New Zealand. Mostly I will be posting about my tanning and taxidermy work. The animals I work with are all invasive species killed for pest control.

Massive credit to @flayote for being my biggest inspiration, and to @is-the-fox-video-cute for sparking my interest in taxidermy in the first place!

From pigeon droppings to wading in excrement, the traditional craft of tanning skins in Fez, Morocco is a dirty job. But the result is the world’s most supple leather.

"ECHO OF HIDE CASE," Hamilton Spectator. April 23, 1913. Page 10.
----
A sequel to the recent sentence of the Brooks brothers to penitentiary by Judge Monck the other week, on a charge of stealing hides from Wilham Stroud's tannery, was commenced with the issuance of a writ by Kerr & Thomson in the high court, for the recovery of $1,650.30, from Thornton's Limited. The amount represents the value of the hides stolen from the plaintiff's tannery. It has been alleged by the plaintiff the stolen hides were received by Thornton's Limited, but the latter claim they have no means of showing the hides received from the Brooks brothers came from the Stroud tannery.

Tanners at the Chouara Tannery have been transforming animal hides into leather since the 11th century. The tanning process has gone unchanged since then, but it relies on heavy chemicals that threaten the health of workers. Some say they are not willing to take that risk. We traveled to the world’s oldest leather tannery in Fez, Morocco, to find out how this ancient craft is still standing.

Morocco (2) (3) (4) (4) by hey tiffany!
Via Flickr:
(1) A small river runs through the city. A promenade along the banks is in the works.
(2) Fes tanneries. The hides go into the white pools of pigeon droppings before being dyed. Shopkeepers pass out mint to visitors to combat the overwhelming smell.
(3) Fes is known as a city of artisans.

Leather tanners in Morocco have been using time-honored techniques to tan animal hides for 1,000 years. But toxic chemicals are posing massive risks to the workers.

Day 24 of Bookbinding: A Visit to a Tannery
Today, I went to New York with my mother to visit Pergamena, a family business dating back to the 16th century that specialize in leather, and more recently, parchment. We got to see the innerworkings of a tannery, and how they made their leather and parchment. It was a wonderful experience, and I learned a great deal about the process. We also got to see lots of different parchment up close, and we were showed the difference between varying types of parchment sources. It was incredibly informative, and I plan to bind with some leather from Pergamena in the future (not within this project, but future bookbinding endeavors.)
