· May 9 - 10, 2009: Miles City, Montana teaching a workshop in Jim's home town. This workshop will be hosted by the historic Miles City Saddlery. Jim states, "I'm very excited about doing this one because this is where I got infected with the leatherworking bug 42 years ago. The leatherworking roots in this town that go back much farther than that. In fact, Ken Griffin once worked at the Miles City Saddlery. Anyone leaving early to go to the Sheridan Leather Show should plan on spending the weekend in Miles City soaking up some of the rich leatherworking heritage that comes from this town." Leon Sevier is organizing the even and is who you should contact for more info.
Notes from Leon:
The weekend before Sheridan we will be carving and coloring the bison scene on the cover of the TLF catalog. Jim would like to be able to do the whole job - right up to having it ready for framing. It looks like it will be Saturday and Sunday, May 9 and 10 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. In order to complete the project, Jim will be bringing the pattern pre-traced and ready to transfer to the leather.
