To begin with, you will explore the characteristics of reindeer hide, such as hair flow and the processing of the skin. Additionally, the course will cover the cultural and historical significance of reindeer skin garments, helping you appreciate their role in Arctic communities.

2. Building Skills Gradually
As you progress, you will develop your skills through a series of carefully structured modules. For example, you will start by making small, practical items like mittens or pouches. This approach not only helps you build confidence but also lays a solid foundation for more complex tasks later on.
