All skill levels welcome!
Workshop Description: This workshop is the next step after taking Airbrushing Overview and will reinforce the new techniques you have just learned. If you are unfamiliar with airbrushing, you’ll need to take Airbrushing Overview first…you’ll have a lot more fun if you do! During this time slot, you’ll tool a simple design onto a small knife sheath (knives will be available for purchase from the instructor), do a little machine sewing, and also get to use more Fiebing’s products. It doesn’t matter how much tooling experience you have; this workshop focuses mainly on the airbrushing to help you understand how to beautify your products with an alternative method of coloring.
Materials to bring: Airbrush, stamping stone, maul, bevelers (regular and steep), shader, backgrounder, and swivel knife. A basic knowledge of tooling is recommended.
Workshop Instructor: John owned his own insurance agency and maintained an active interest in leather work for more than 40 years. He stumbled into airbrushing while trying to learn how to dye a sunburst. He discovered there was almost nothing on You Tube or elsewhere on how to use an airbrush when dyeing leather. He’s been teaching his introduction to airbrushing workshops at all the Leather Crafters shows, writing for the Journal, and can also be found manning the Spray Gunner booth out on the vendor’s floor.
Workshop Sponsors: Hermann Oak Leather Co., The Fiebing Company, Leather Machine Co., LLC, and Renia USA
