After a lot of thought, I have decided to close the Learn Leather Now Skool community. This was not an easy decision. I love leathercraft, and I am proud of the work that went into building this space. However, I have realized that while I still love making leather goods, teaching leathercraft as an ongoing community is not the direction I want to continue pursuing. I also do not want to keep asking people to invest their time or money into a community that I am no longer fully committed to building. The community will close on 7-24-2026. Before it closes, please download or save anything you would like to keep from the classroom or community. If there are specific resources you are concerned about losing, leave a comment below or message me directly. Thank you to everyone who joined, participated, shared your work, asked questions, or supported the idea. Even though Learn Leather Now is ending, I am not walking away from leathercraft. I will still be making, designing, and sharing leather-related work when it makes sense. This experience also helped me become clearer about where I want to put my energy next, and I am grateful to everyone who was part of that process. Thank you for being here.

Thank you all for joining. Things are a little slow here right now while I'm working on re-vamping the classroom. Please feel free to interact with the other members... there are 82 of you now :)

Hey all, I have been doing a lot of research and talking with a lot of people who know more then I do and I have decided that I am going to re work the courses that I'm offering. I am not changing my stance that Technique comes before projects. I am admitting that if you are here you are a crafter, and learning technique for months and not actually crafting anything is just not going to work for us. THE NEW DIRECTION: I am still going to be walking you through the various techniques, in the order that you should be practicing and mastering them, but now I will be walking you through small projects that highlight and enforce those techniques.... and you will have an actual thing to hold in your hand afterword instead of a pile of leather slivers 😁 I will be starting the process of outlining the new lessons and project progressions next week, so stay tuned and if you all have any questions ask them here or come and hang out with me at a coffee hour.

For anyone one a budget but wanting to use a clicker press this is the one that I use. https://amzn.to/43GTfJW If money was no object then I would be getting this one https://www.buckleguy.com/bg-manual-clicker-press-w-swing-head-black-4-ton/ I do not have any affiliation with buckleguy, they just make really good stuff. unfortunately I haven't been able to get any discounts for you guys for them either.
