Meet Jo, owner of J.H.Leather, and your teacher on this Creative Fabrica class.
A brief guide to leather and the leather you will need for this class.
There are lots of different tools needed for leathercraft. Here you will go over all the ones you need for this class.
IncludedThe best way to learn leathercraft is by doing, so you are going to jump right on it with project number one - the coaster.
You will now move on to something a bit more technical that covers pattern making. This will progress your skills from the last project.
Now that you have learned the basics of leathercrafting, you are going to create your most complex project, the passport cover!
That's a wrap! Now that you have finished the artwork, Jo will have a few final thoughts about this class.
