About

My name is Sarina Roscigno. I started tanning hides a little over a decade ago, when I raised my first batch of meat rabbits in a rented backyard in a dense neighborhood of Seattle. Eventually we moved to southern Appalachia, to a steep, rocky farmstead tucked in the mountains and began raising my own little flock of sheep. I followed their lead and became besotted with the transformation of wet, slimy raw skin into an heirloom textile with the aid of natural, old techniques like smoke and tannins. It never stopped being magical, so I started tanning for friends and fellow shepherds, taking classes from mentors to refine and improve my process, and have slowly scaled up to tanning full time. 

All of the sheepskin and leather goods I offer are tanned and crafted by me with non-toxic and transparent ingredients that will last many generations.
