TonyRV2 Report post Posted September 24, 2016 Hey Mario...welcome to tool addiction anonymous....oh.....I mean the wonderful world of leathercrafting. The first thing I would check with are the area community colleges. Most have non-credit adult special interest type courses that they offer for a pretty reasonable price. The local high schools may be another place to find similar adult ed courses. Another alternative would be to find someone with an existing leather shop in the area and ask them if they'd be willing to take on an intern...for free if necessary until you build up your skills. A google search may bring up a club or a group in your area as well, but it seems for leathercrafting these are few and far between. Another great place for beginners if right here! So you're already off to a good start. There are seasoned professional craftsmen and women that will be happy to answer any question you may have. That said, always search the archives first, because a lot of the basic questions have already been answered and there are a lot of stickies as well to browse through. Now get to studyin'. I just noticed that you were referred to this site by an employee of Tandy Leather....they usually have classes at their stores as well. Oh....and don't forget youtube. A lot of tutorials there as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
