I'm a handbag maker out of Portland OR and I'm looking for a 2-4 week class (not Tandy Leather) in leather sewing techniques. Preferably Handbags, but Shoemaking would be of interest too. You can see my skill level at my website www.xobruno.com.
Specifically learning about different types of hides, veg-tan dyeing and finishing (not tooling) industrial sewing. forming etc.
I will go anywhere that a good class is offered, preferably a warmer climate sometime between the months of March - May.
One on one, smallish workshops, schools etc.
Thank you!
