No matter how hard you try, you aren’t getting the kind of results you want!

At first you may have improved rapidly, but like so many, your progress slows down fast.

Worse, not understanding where you should start or how to improve your skills is not just frustrating, but it’s also wasting your valuable time and hard earned money.

It’s not easy to enjoy the craft when you feel like your results have come to a standstill and you don’t have the knowledge to move forwardHow is anybody supposed to stay excited like this?

Luxury leathergoods build along projects

These courses contain years of intense focus, testing, improving and discovering better ways of crafting luxury leather goods:

 

But just like you right now, I wasn’t always able to do this!

 

I’ve learned directly from a leather case maker, indirectly from volumes of vintage leathercraft manuals and books as well as starting my own leathercraft brand: ‘Finch England’.

This successfully allowed me to earn a living from my craft for several years before I found my calling - teaching, and keeping this beautiful craft alive for future generations. 

 

This included making leather goods from scratch as well as buying, restoring and selling vintage luggage (a powerful learning experience alone!).

From these activities, I was able to generate volumes of notes over the years. Notes on what I have been taught, discovered and learned the hard way!

The Leathercraft Masterclass is an accumulation of this knowledge, boiled down to the best parts and the essential techniques, then presented in 1080p HD with clear and concise explanations.

 

Showing you not only what to do, but thoroughly explaining WHY you’re doing it (vitally important!).

And any time a specialist tool is used, a much simpler option with a widely available tool is demonstrated too - allowing anyone to use these techniques, not just the 'elite'.

 I'm the creative director of PanAm Leathers. I studied accessories design in Tel Aviv and in NYC, but I learned more practical tips from the first 20 min of your videos than all the years higher education combined, so thank you!

 I’ve been bingeing your courses like they are a new Netflix sitcom! I love them!

Most tutorials or videos on the Internet are leaning more towards rustic/semi-elegant stuff. It's virtually impossible to find someone from the industry that's been successful and is sharing his master knowledge.

How to construct projects and the order of things has been a big learning point. Satisfying to get that clear in my head.

There are things covered in every course that can be applied to any number of leather projects.

Edge painting is probably my favorite new skill I acquired.  Few can get a smooth and consistent edge all around.

There is a simple joy in holding a $600 handbag and seeing that your edge paint is better because someone took the time of teaching you the little tricks of getting it right.

Were the results of the courses going to justify the cost?

I have taken online and facing courses before that were a complete waste of money.

I feel that this was/ is WELL worth the cost!
