Learn Leatherwork on Leatherworker.net Over the last few years, our members have contributed teaching material in all forms, on every subject of working with leather. Many of our members are very well known in the leather medium as artists, designers, and expert master craftsmen/women, and we are very fortunate that they have taken the time to share their knowledge with all of us. The material is somewhat dispersed throughout our site. In the early days of Leatherworker.net, the only place to post the tutorials was in a forum post.
Now we have many useful formats in which knowledge can be transferred - videos, blog articles, downloadable PDF's - this page was set up to arrange all that material in an organized manner to make it easy for you to find information about a specific topic, or find all the material from your favorite artist or teacher.
