Workshop Description: Pictorial Carving can seem mysterious and forbidding to the leather craftsman that has never received some basic instruction on the proper techniques. Once these basic skills are grasped and understood, a new and exciting world of leather carving is opened. Barry King recently started creating a group of pictorial carving stamps. Now that these are available, learning to carve beautiful pictorial scenes in leather is possible for everyone. In this class, we will create a beautiful mountain scene with pine trees and evergreens. You will not only learn how to make a basic tree, but how to illustrate it at various distances. Grass, bushes, rocks, and hills will all be covered in this workshop. If you are ready to take your floral carving beyond geometrics and floral, this is a class you should be in.
Materials to bring: Stamping surface, stylus, swivel knife, strop, pressurized water sprayer, modelling spoon and mallet. Stamps should include bevellers, matting tools, pointed bevellers, small, fine textured background stamps, and the Barry King pictorial carving set. The Craftool equivalents are A98, A99, F976, F902, F910, F933, F912L, F912R, F913L, F913R, F914L, F914R, F872, F915, and F915.
Workshop Instructor: Born and raised on a ranch in eastern Montana, Jim Linnell has had leather working in his blood ever since his first visit to the Miles City Saddlery.

Through the business he started in retirement, www.elktracksstudio.com, Jim instructed over 10,000 students during the pandemic. Whether in a large group or private classes, Jim is always ready to share his passion and knowledge of leather working. He is the 2002 recipient of the Al Stohlman Award for Achievement in Leathercraft.
