HI!
I'm a novice leatherworker living in Saratoga Springs, Utah. I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Obviously I can't really offer any skilled labor (yet), but if you're working leather anywhere within a few hours of Utah Valley, I would love to come spend a day in your shop sweeping up, cleaning shop, and taking care of the annoying menial tasks that keep you from focusing on your art. I would do this just for the opportunity to generally watch the business of your business happening. If you have a few minutes now and then to show and teach, so much the better.
I get out to Columbus, Ohio about once a quarter for work, and can take a day to drive out to meet you if you're within 2-4 hours' drive. Scheduling this might be
I work in software so my schedule is very very flexible. I can come out any day Mon-Sat if I can schedule the time off in advance.
P.S. If you have customers coming in and out of your shop, let me take this opportunity to say that I am well-groomed, bathe regularly, friendly and professional. (Hey, if I ran a store and you offered, I would ask before letting you come hang out at my shop all day!)
