WOOL SIDE

• Shake Out dirt out of rug regularly

• Brush your rug with a Wool Comb and/or Brush (certain types of dog brushes work just as well, try it ;) It is normal for a little bit of wool to come off when brushing.

• Dry Shampoo + Vacuum your rug!

• Spot clean with a spray bottle to control water amount (no warm water it could felt the wool) scrub with any kind of shampoo, and then blot with a towel. **I DO NOT RECOMMEND putting the sheepskin in the washer or dryer!

• WOOL MOTH PREVENTION: 1x a year maybe june/july place your rug in a trash bag either freeze for a week or place inside your car on a hot day for 24 hours and it should kill moths/larvae!

UNDER SIDE

This part will start to yellow over time! That is apart of the process! It will also stay a little dirt looking, if you place it directly on the floor! This is normal wear + tear and shows you are really giving them some loving!

• If you take it outside often, it will help if you place something under to protect the sheepskin from moisture on the ground, dirt, mud, etc. If they do get wet and you let them dry, they may get a little crunchy in spots-- if that happens then just work the hide a little to soften it while they are drying.

• PUMICE: Use a pumice stone or sand paper to kind of freshen up the bottom!!

• OILING: This is one of my favorite tasks for after-care, every 3- 6 months rub olive oil, sesame oil, canola oil, neatsfoot oil, or any old salves. This is a great opportunity to rub some intention into your hide that can support you over the next months. Add a little amount at a time, you want to feel the oil, but not have oil pooling or running off the hide!

There are often mutual aid spots, full or partial scholarships available for workshops.

It will be indicated if they are available at the time of sign-ups! Get on my email list so you can get updates on when workshops maybe happening.

Priority is given to indigenous people living in the southwest region, and feel free to reach out based on your need.

If you would like to support funding a mutual aid spot you can do so anytime via my venmo @marissa-sieck or paypal @MarissaSieck *put an infinity emoji as the message!

My teaching season is generally March thru October. With a break in August to play in water and take a break the high desert heat!

I might, so stay tuned! There are a couple factors I consider, which is whose hides are available, and which ones I feel confident and feel I have permission to share with others. I do love working with Elk and families, so let me know if that is you!
