Looking for someone to teach kids leather craft

[Jamie]

Hello,

I am a leader for a 4th grade Cub Scout group. I am trying to find someone to teach my boys the basics of leatherworking, but I don't know where to look. We need to complete a leather craft for our Craftsman badge (basics, lacing, tooling...). I feel the boys would learn more from someone who really knows about the subject. If you have any suggestions please email me at elliemaepolo@yahoo.com

Thank You!

Jamie

If you do not get a personal reply there is a leather guild in Ohio.

Try http://leathercrafters.tripod.com/id1.html.

Or the Guild President: Mark Strain at mstrain@columbus.rr.com

Or the Guild VP: Allan M. Scheiderer at alsleather@urec.net

They should be willing to help.
