Members DavidL Posted October 28, 2014 Author Members Report Posted October 28, 2014 Im in no rush to go overseas, only wanting to consider it and decide from there. Im curious if this type of apprenticeship falls under the guidelines of a gov. grant. Best case scenario would be I apprentice full time for 6 months to a year and I get a position at the shop for a beginner position. I was thinking to save up and in a few years I can visit Japan and overtime fit in USA and France. Each country has there own style of leather goods and slightly different styles, so theres that bit extra that I could learn authentically without guesswork. The trips after Japan will be more of a vacation I guess. I would think that going once I have learned the basics of leather working and into the advanced, learning the subtleties of leather working is where it would benefit most, the harder construction styles and close scrutiny of the refinement of skills.

Members Tramps Leatherworking Posted November 2, 2014 Members Report Posted November 2, 2014 well, no, not really. That question has a single correct answer..... I disagree --- you would never get a consensus on that question... In judging music, as well as any piece of art, beauty is in the eye/ear of the beholder.
