If you're looking to learn a little leathercraft as a hobby, or you want to be frugal and save money by making it yourself, but don't want to spend 100's or 1000's of dollars on trials and error, you're going to want to check this class out. I'm Joshua Von War-Bear, and this is my leather class. You're going to learn a multitude of skills here. Basics, execution of techniques, leather theory as well as making all things applicable to future projects.
