Hey folks,
I think it’s time to get a regular Leather-working SIG Workshop going.
Between @flisenby’s Intro to Leather classes, which always fill, and my project classes we find quite a few people interested in leather-working with a range of experience from none to intermediate. I know we have members who are also experienced leather crafters, but we don’t have a lot to offer them aside from the tools and equipment we have. I’d like to tap into that knowledge for the sake of other newer members.
I’m considering June 9th, for a Leather-working SIG Workshop.
- It would be open to both members and non-members as our project classes are, as a way of trying to attract new members and educate our existing members.
- It would have some agenda items like a Show and Tell where people can show off their work and talk about techniques they used, things they learned while making it. A Tips and Tricks portion where we cover a particular tool or technique exposing new users to those tools and techniques. Mostly it would be “workshop” time where people can ask questions of our more advanced members, or get advice with a project they’re working on, and maybe get assistance with their project using our tools.
So here are my asks.
- Does this sound like an interesting use of of the SIG?
- For you more advanced leathercrafters, would you volunteer your time to be an “expert” for this?
- For those that have leather projects they are proud of, would you attend to show off and talk about your make?
