Service Description

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 already have some tooling experience or 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 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.
