Secrets from the Workshop

Leather Craft Instruction and Video Tuition

Leather Craft Instruction and Video Tuition Using Skills, Techniques and Projects by Nigel Armitage for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Leather Workers.

Learning the Leather Craft today is fraught with pitfalls, bad advice and misinformation whether you are a Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced Leather Worker.
The internet is an amazing thing, but the issue is always going to be, you need to have a basic understanding of what you want to learn, to know if the advice you are getting is good or not, well that’s just not possible is it? Simply put, we do not know, what we do not know!
This is where the channel, Secrets from the Workshop came from. An online resource you can trust to steer you towards what you do need to know, with tried and tested techniques, demonstrated in clear and easy to understand videos.
You don’t have to be satisfied with just seeing how to undertake a Technique, Skill or Project, Nigel Armitage will be explained why it is a good technique to use and how it can be applied in other areas.

This new platform gives you a greater viewing experience and more control, enabling you to easily find the latest video added and videos by category or project. Think of it as a large (and growing) reference tool.

If you have ideas for Skills, Techniques or Projects,  you can request these easily to the forum which is also a great tool to ask questions, see what others want to see and share ideas. Videos are added every other Friday to either the Technique or Project Sections.
It is worth noting that the Foundation channel will rarely be updated.
