EI YANG
"After tanning my first buckskin in New Jersey nine years ago, I’ve not looked back and found connection to the natural world through the gifts of the animal kingdom to be a massively powerful, grounding and empowering portal we can use on our personal journey while resourcing ourselves for life in the physical realm. The many things that can be done with animal resources is only limited by the imagination, from tools to clothing, accessories and more. When not tanning hides, I enjoy teaching about the plant kingdom, making traditional crafts, writing, cooking epic food and playing music." - Ei Yang
