I just heard today that Dave is cancelling quite a few classes already. Anybody know what's up???

I heard the same thing. I'm hoping that if everyone calls, We'll get the classes back. I believe that the classes taught by Master / Senior leather crafters/artisans are an important part of the show.

If we can call and let him know we 'the students' of the show support the classes, David will get the message.

Thanks

Tim

Do you know what's been canceled, Tim? It seems early to start cancelling.......

I just spoke with Brian at Leathercrafter's Journal. He told me they are still working on the last minutes details of the classes. Nothing has been cancelled. They had hoped to have it all settled before Wickenburg but that did not happen. The printed list should be available in a couple of weeks. The class list may be available on the website a few days sooner. Check around March 10th.

David called me on Thurs and said he has to cancel some classes as he had over booked the Holiday. He cancled my pricing class and the ASMA Saddle Makers Breakfast Gathering would have to find another venue.

Dave called me, too, and canceled my figure carving class. He said he had 15 similar calls to make, so I have a feeling he was terribly overbooked. They put a new person in charge of workshops, and I guess that got them into trouble. There's only so much room for workshops there. I am very disappointed that they chose to cancel mine. There have been no figure carving classes in Sheridan for a long time. I know some people who want one. I've been trying to get Dave to let me teach one, and he always comes back with Bob Beard's class, which he calls figure carving, but it's not. He does pictorial carving, trees, bushes, rocks, mountains and such. I would not be in competition with Bob, I would teach specifics on an animal, nothing else. I don't know how to get Dave to see this.

Now my class is back on. I think it's just a case of disorganization. Hopefully they will get it together and have the book out soon. There is quite a line up of classes, so there won't be a problem finding one you like.

Jan's classes are back on now too. He's doing one on an embossed dog, boxer I think. He's also doing one on different hairing techniques and coloring.

Register for the classes you want ASAP.
