Workshop Description: In this class, Sheryl will take you through her process of using multiple layers of dye to create a fantastic, one-of-a-kind piece of leather. The project will use a piece of gator that will be large enough to make an attractive long wallet or a couple of smaller projects. This process can also be used on other exotic leather crusts such as snapping turtle, snake and ostrich. Students will gain the confidence to apply this technique to a crust (undyed, unfinished leather) and make their own one-of-a-kind creations.
Materials to bring: All leather and materials will be provided. This process can get messy, so students should wear something that can get dirty.
Workshop Instructor: Sheryl’s interest in leathercraft started 1997 when she found a set of tools at a flea market. Those tools propelled her on a journey in leather she could not have imagined. Over the last 25 years, she has had the privilege to study and learn different tooling techniques from several of the masters.
In 2001, she began braiding leather, learning from the masters of the craft in both kangaroo and rawhide, and becoming skilled in round braiding, inlay/overlay braids, fine edge braiding and knot work. In 2005, Sheryl started teaching tooling and braiding classes in Sheridan, Wyoming, at the Rocky Mountain Leather Trade Show for both youth and adult students. In 2007, she and her husband started a 4-H club, the Cascade Leather Artisans. Several Ann Stohlman winners have come from this club. She has also been published in the Leather Crafter’s Journal. Her work has won numerous first place, best of show and judges’ choice awards at county fairs, and first and second place ribbons in the World Leather Debut. Other placings include first place, best in category, best in class, and best of division at the International Federation of Leather Guilds Convention.
