Raised in the woods of Virginia, Callan (she/her) fell in love with creating things by hand from materials found in her local ecosystem. Now living in North Carolina, she is an ancestral skills teacher and traditional craftsperson. She teaches spoon carving, hide tanning, friction fire and other skills to children and adults across the southeast. She loves to climb trees, swim in wild waters and tend fire.
In her outdoor workshop, she makes leather, tans furs, and carves wooden wares. Her craft work is driven by a wish to use often wasted materials and step out of the consumer cycle. Through her teaching she hopes to empower others to do the same.
