Hi, I started learning to work with leather recently. I've learned some on my own but I know there are the right ways and in some cases easier ways to do things. I've made some leather bags, cuffs, keychains, pattern weights I live in Norwalk CT and I'm looking for classes or a leatherworker willing to show me skills in New York City or Fairfield County, CT. Below is what I've learned and what I know I know nothing about. Please let me know if you know of someone or ask them to respond to my posting.

I will be teaching SADDLE CONSTRUCTION design and patterning, using concepts that can be applied to other areas of construction--- including holsters, knife sheaths, saddle bags, rifle scabbards, and various cases. There are only a few seats left for both classes; however there are several openings for just the first day. Day 1 is Lecture and Demonstration. I will teach you how to take a sketch of your concept / idea and translate it to a functional design, and then to usable patterns. If you can only attend the first day, you will still go away with all of the hand-outs, notes, and a plan and method. You should be able to go home and create your own patterns after only taking this class. Day 2 is Application---I will help you make your own patterns for your own tree. You will go home with patterns! Call me with questions. 307-272-1881. http://www.leathercraftersjournal.com/product.cfm?product=851 http://www.leathercraftersjournal.com/product.cfm?product=852

Hi fellow Leather Crafters! I live in Los Angeles and since this is a major fashion hub I am thinking of starting a leather craft school. I have a passion for teaching and obviously for leather craft, but was wondering if anyone has experience on whether this is profitable and feasible? I'm thinking that because of my location, I can do it but looking for feedback or experience from those have done this or are currently offering classes. Thoughts? -

Hi everyone, I have recently retired and I am interested in learning about leather working. Tandy runs a series of classes 4 Saturdays for 2 hours each for beginners. Has anyone ever taken these and if so should I enrol. The classes are about a one hour drive, which is one of the reasons I am asking. Thanks

I have been searching for any braiding classes in or around North Carolina and unfortunately an internet search has not been of much help. Tandy in Chicago, a site in Texas and a few even futher have offerings, but the wife prefers that I try and stay a little closer to home. Being a hands-on learner, I wanted to see if anyone knows of anyone that offers any hands-on classes to get me going on the right foot. Thanks for any help.
