Workshop: RE-SEA ME

Learn how to tan fish skin with Nienke Hoogvliet

18 Mar 2016

The workshop RE -SEA ME explores the enormous potential of tanning fish skin to leather (which even corresponds to the properties of pig skin leather). A large amount of the waste from the fishing industry consists out of waste of fish skin. This approach dictated by sources of nature used in the design and production process paves the way for fresh insights, sustainable use of the amount of organic skin waste out of the fish industry.
