Workshop Description: This workshop will offer figure carving, geometric stamping, floral carving, and inverted/silhouette carving. This is not a beginner’s workshop; attendees must have about 2 years of leathercrafting experience and be (approx.) 10 – 17 years old. It is a workshop designed to go beyond the bare basics and level-up your skills as a teenager. The class will be organized by Kay Orton and taught (mostly) by Ann Stohlman Award winners! (There will be an hour break for lunch.)
Materials to bring: Bring at least the 7 basic tools, a mallet, and a tooling stone.
