Dragon Figure Carving Workshop

About This Video

In this figure carving workshop, Jim Linnell moves beyond traditional animals to creatures of myth and magic. With such a wide variety of dragon styles, carving them in leather can be done many different ways. 

These possibilities for how to use these skills, for carving dragons in leather, are endless, including making unique armor pieces, stunning jewelry, masquerade masks, decorative handbags, or used as a wall hanging. 

In this class, Jim focuses on creating the different textures and features that are on most dragons, such as techniques for creating wings, horns, scales, feet, claws, eyes and other elements that are part of most dragons. 

Jim Linnell is a Stohlman Award winning leatherworking instructor who has dedicated his life to the advancement of the art form and the preservation of its history.

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