2021 LEATHER CLASS LIST

LEATHER TOOLING FOR BEGINNERS 

(Limit 10 Students) 

$200 

​

Thursday April 29th 

9am-Noon, 1pm-5pm (Lunch Break Noon-1pm) 

Instructor- Joe Meling, 23 Plus- Pendleton, OR

Working with leather can be fun and creative with endless possibilities. Tooling (or carving) is a leatherworking skill that allows you to decorate and customize your leather projects. 

Although there are many different styles and directions someone can go with tooling, there are basic tools and fundamentals that are common among them all. 

This is a hands-on class where you will begin to learn the fundamentals of tools including the swivel knife, bevels, and shaders. Whether you have some tooling experience already or you have never touched a tool, this class is for you. Fundamentals are important at any stage of the game and the class format allows me to teach to different skill levels with lots of one-on-one time. Bring what tools you have but if you are just starting and do not have any, there will be tools for you to use during class.

DRAFTING SHOTGUN CHAPS PATTERN  

(Limit 12 Students) 

$200 

​

Thursday April 29th 

9am-Noon 

Instructor- Julie Baugher, JBLD Leather School- Ellensburg, WA 

​

This class will teach you how to draft a shotgun chap pattern. I have found this method to be very efficient. For some reason, including me, Shotguns tend to be intimidating! I have found a simple method to relieve the stress. In this class, we will go over the measurement chart, instructions on correct measuring and how to apply these measurements to create a paper pattern for you or your customer. This class will basically cover the new shotgun pattern I will be releasing soon. You will go back to your shop with enough knowledge to create a pattern for any body type. 

If you can, please bring pencils, eraser, metal tape measure, scissors, 6 x 24” quilters grid (if you have one), notepad for taking notes. Included in the class will be the paper to make your pattern, measurement chart and instructions.
