The American Saddle Makers Association is sponsoring a workshop

Recommended Posts

I got a pamphlet in the mail today for a new event to be held in conjunction with the trade show in Sheridan. The American Saddle Makers Association is sponsoring a workshop that will cover cutting, stitching, edging, skiving, loop making. Teachers for the workshop will be Verlane Desgrange and Bob Brenner. This workshop will be held Wednesday and Thursday May 16-17 from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and there will practice sessions on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings from 7-9. The event will be held at the Wagon Box in Story, Wy which is a 20 minute drive from Sheridan. The workshop will cost $500 for ASMA members and $550 for non members. A deposit of half the tuition must be postmarked my April 1, 2007 with remainder due by May 1st. Cost includes tuition, 5 nights of dorm style accommodations, Tuesday- Saturday, plus continental breakfast and lunch on Wednesday and Thursday. Class will be limited to 20 students with a minimum of 13 needed. This will be a great chance to really develope your leatherworking skills from one of the best, 2006 Stohlman award winner and former saddle making instructor at Spokane Falls Community College, Verlane Desgrange!

I didn't see any info about this workshop at the ASMA website yet but you can get an email address from the site and maybe get more info that way. http://saddlemakers.org

I am sure Verlane would be happy to answer any questions anyone has on this.

I heard from Verlane that they didn't get enough interest in this workshop to go through with it. It's really too bad. Verlane has so much knowledge and experience and is willing to pass it on to others. I hope she doesn't give up trying to get this started as I know there are people that could benifit from it.
