Working together, Deborah and Lousia soften the hides, stretching them out and removing extra skin. Slowly the stiff hides become more flexible as they work with them. Using warm water to help, they dip their hands in, gently working it into the stiff hides, being careful to not get them too wet. Tori watches the two of them work, before joining in, learning the feel of the tools in her hands as she begins to work with the hides herself.
