Workshop Description: In this course you will learn how to transfer a drawing onto leather, how to work out the details with modeling balls and pear shaders for a better 3-D effect in the stems, leaves, and flowers, how to lift the flowers, and even though the focus of this workshop is carving, Jürgen will show you how to approach coloring the carving – especially the border so that it looks like real turquoise. The leather is calculated in such a way that a beautiful pencil case can be made from it later!
Materials to bring: Pencil 0.7 B, soft eraser, bone folder, fine tip stylus, swivel knife, strop, mallet, tooling stone, headlamp, steep bevelers of different sizes, different sized pearshaders and thumprints, center shader, leaf liner, different sizes of lifters, camouflage stamps, small veiners, flower centers, a backgrounder of your choosing, modeling spoons, and modeling ball end tools.
Workshop Instructor: Jürgen Volbach is a leatherworker from Cologne, Germany, who had his first lessons 30 years ago with the famous boot and saddle maker, Don Atkinson in Kerrville/Ingram, Texas. He worked with leather every day, making leather designs and toolings and carvings for clients using old and new leather skills. In recent years, he has used modeling tools more and more in his leatherwork, especially with 3-dimensional pieces. Jürgen teaches many workshops in his work space in Cologne and other countries/towns to teach students the different techniques. He is the 2020 recipient of the Al Stohlman Award for Achievement in Leathercraft.
Workshop Sponsors: Hermann Oak Leather Co. and The Fiebing Company
