Stetson912 Report post Posted March 2, 2022 I got to go to the southwest leatherworkers trade show in Prescott this year. I took several courses and this is what I came out with. Jim Linnel taught his inverted figure carving class where we made a spirit horse. Rocky Minster taught his arizona style layout and tooling and is one heck of a guy full of awesome knowledge and history. And Serina Fenn Lee taught a dice cup class that was really fun too. It makes a great stamp holder. Allaround a real fun time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is this one of the larger gatherings? It's a good size. A lot of vendors and big names. It's hosted by the leathercrafters and saddlers journal. It's the only one I've been too but I don't think it's as big as sheridan. But, if it's leather related it'll be at the show haha. I go mostly for the classes because the instructors are well known in the craft and people I look up to and the opportunity to learn from them is incredible Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like a bit more than a long weekend. Would love to go someday. Glad you had a good time and were able to meet some of the legends in the field.

There is a new show that added, the heart of Texas show in Waco. It is in August this year I believe. That should cut the travel in half.
