Online Leather Classes: help

[rvacindy]

 

I am new to leather carving .  I am trying to figure out a online class to learn the tools and everything else.   I came across Joe Meling  23plus leather class,  Fundamentals of Floral Carving

https://twentythreeplus.com/collections/on-line-courses/products/684491.   These run $125  Has anyone done it?  if so could you tell me what you think?

Also came across  Jim Linnell  at Elktracks Studio    https://elktracksstudio.com/

https://elktracksstudio.com/collections/tooling-fundamentals   his classes are $30 each.   Again what is the difference and which would you go with first? 

What have you all tried other than the youtube videos.... I really don't have lots of time with kids, life ect to endless watch TV.   

Thank you Cindy

I would check out Don Gonzales on Youtube. He has lots of videos to choose from, and if you like his style of presentation, then he has classes that you can

pursue. But there is too much FREE instruction to jump right into paying for classes.

You should certainly check out Ian Atkinson's videos.  If you're brand new, trying to figure out what tools you need and how everything works (and what you really don't need to buy), then Ian has some instruction especially for you!
Check him out here: https://www.ianatkinson.net/leather/videos.htm

As @tsunkasapa said: Check out YouTube and see who you like.

I bought a few videos from Jim Linnell when they werde on half-price sale (I believe they are regularly). As far as I remember he also has the very basics for free on YouTube and his website.
