Workshop Instructor: Coby James has been a professional photographer for 30 years, operating a large studio in the Houston area, specializing in commercial (advertising and various media), portrait, and volume photography. Recently retired, he has combined photography and leatherwork, teaching and sharing his skillsets with other craftsmen. His experience in leather craft started when he was young, learning by doing “daily chore” cleaning and tack repair on a family ranching/farming business. Over 40+ years, he has made saddles, tack, hand goods, and boots. He continues to do leatherwork in his shop, making mostly items that he prefers.
