Review from previous course
“I was one of the fortunate few to be on the first course. It is very much “an introduction”. It covers the basics of selecting leathers, making patterns/templates, cutting, stitching, dyeing, finishing,.
You do not come away with a finished item, but with a host of knowledge of techniques. I think it is much better than a “make a handbag in a weekend” type course.”
