About This Video

Originally produced by George Hurst in the early 2000s, this video tutorial with René Berends walks you through how to make beautiful leather jewelry! Included in this tutorial, you'll learn how to make layered leather gemstones, braiding, mounting, and assembly of leather jewelry.

Note from Jim Linnell: “These videos represent a piece of history. They capture invaluable lessons from great artists, some of whom are no longer with us. Originally produced over 20 years ago, and later digitized from VHS, the sharpness of the image or quality of the audio may not be quite on par with our more modern video technology. However, note that this does not in any way compromise the quality of the instruction.”
