About This Video

In addition to learning how to carve this classic style of design, viewers of this workshop will also learn about how this style affected leather carving around the west. Centered in Phoenix, Porters Saddlery was the training ground for many of the great leather craftsmen of an earlier generation. Their fingerprints can be seen all over the craft today. 

While you are learning how these patterns were laid out and carved, Jim also shares the rich history and heritage of the Southwest flavor of leather carving. 

This is a recording of a live, online class, so viewers benefit from both audience questions and workshop moderation.
