Learn traditional leather craft methods from a custom craftsman, then apply them as you make projects that will become heirlooms

In this modern age of technology and speed, what is taught in master leather crafter Nigel Armitage's renowned workshop follows a very traditional and timeless theme. Here, for the first time, he offers a learning resource and projects for leather crafters who believe that high quality matters, both in how you make things, and in the finished results.

Enjoy learning the time-tested approach to leathercrafting, as Armitage helps you learn traditional techniques and projects that use them in modern ways. From beginner projects like a simple card holder, to intermediate projects like a belt, to advanced projects like a round-bottom bag, each project, while modern in terms of using new tools and materials, is still very much seated in the foundations of the craft.

If you appreciate longevity that spans generations, the latter, then this book will meet your expectations and take your leather creations further than you might think possible.
