A Peter Main Original

Absolutely!

He's one of the best and it's a pleasure to learn from him. Plus he'll tell you anything he knows. I probably asked 20 questions that had nothing to do with embossing and he would answer them with no hesitation. I have run across people that don't like to tell you their "secrets".

Peter also showed some generosity to a leatherworker that came to the store. He was a pretty good lw from what I could see, but he couldn't! He was blind. Yes blind. His wife would do the carving, and he would do the cutting, assembly, etc... We couldn't believe it, and were all amazed. Peter gave the couple his newest book. I thought that was very nice of him. They didn't know who he was, but were touched by his gift.

Also, we got a visit from George Hurst. He came in after lunch time, and sat next to me and just observed for a while. This is another gentleman with an unbelievable amount of leather knowledge and carving ability. He can carve flowers with no tracings what so ever. We had a great time.

Marlon: nice work, both by you & your wife!

You guys are so lucky to be in the heart of it all as far as being able to take these classes & meet with these 'masters' of the art.

Thanks Russ,

I do feel pretty fortunate to be around a wealth of knowledge, but then again that's why we have this place.

Thanks Spider,

You should give it a shot. Most of what Peter teaches is in Al Stohlmans book on embossing, but he simplifies a lot of it so it's not very difficult.
