Leather Buying Guide - Module 1 Lesson 1 The Tanning Process

**Download worksheets at: http://www.leathercraftladies.com/ What kind of leather should I buy? Where should I buy it? How much do I need? These are common questions that most of us ask when we start working with leather. Good News: It gets easier Bad News: There is not a perfect answer for any of these questions. Rather, I’ve found that by working within a step-by-step framework, I’m able to confidently select the best leather for my specific projects. I have put this video boot camp together to help you do the same. At the conclusion of the boot camp, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and a replicable process to select and purchase the ideal leather for all your leatherwork projects. I recorded these videos a few years ago. The content is still relevant, but you may notice a different logo (Leatherwork Academy) on some of the videos. Just ignore that. This is an online course that I used to sell, but I’m providing the content here for free.
