howlback Report post Posted December 28, 2017 My wife and I are attending and want to soak up as much knowledge as possible. It seems like we’ll probably have to split off and each take separate workshops to really cover some ground. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldshot Ron Report post Posted December 29, 2017 Workshop recommendations depend on your skill level, leather working project desires, and your particular interest in design (western, floral, abstract, modern). The tooling instructors are all good: Al Gould is good for beginners, Bob Park offers a different style than Al and is very informative, Gordon Andrus and Rocky Minister also have unique styles but their classes are better suited for intermediate and up. If you are interested in saddle making and heavy leather projects Smith and Klenda are good. I would recommend taking at least one class prior to visiting the vendor booths. This offers you insight on new techniques and tools. Then you'll have a better insight for the booths selling what you'll need, and always count on spending more than you expected. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of the classes and instructors. Ron Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted December 30, 2017 It always conflicts but if we weren't setting up on Thursday I'd be in Paul Zalesak's class on sharpening. A basic skill universal to all leatherworking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
