Aurora Blue Farm School aims to teach all things to expand your knowledge on how to utilize every part of the animal on your farm! We focus on fiber/wool, cleaning skulls, natural dye leather, and our most popular course: how to tan hides at home, with minimal tools and resources, using natural methods that are low impact and environmentally friendly!



Icelandic Sheepskin, that I picked up from the butcher that was destined for the trash. The wool is 12 inches long, and beautiful.

Hello! I am Bethany Cantwell.


I am the head shepherdess/owner of Aurora Blue Farm. All of our sheep are born and raised on our farm, and I strive to honor each one by tanning their pelts. I also secure hides from other farmers and butchers that would otherwise be discarded.
