UPDATE :  This post was written over 4 years ago. We haven’t chatted in a long time. So, I don’t know for certain, but I believe Jim returned to charging for all of his classes after the Covid crisis was over.

Since is one of the best living leather artisans and a much sought after teacher, purchasing one of his online courses or, better yet, attending one of his European course would be well worth the time and money.

Learn how to carve leather from world class trainer Jim Linnell.

Tandy Leather’s former marketing director and enormously popular trainer, hopes to offer the free sessions each week. There will be a variety of subjects. And the pattern should be on his website the Saturday before the class.

Jim’s Facebook Announcement

I’d like to announce the first of what I hope to be regularly occurring FREE weekly demos/classes on the Jim Linnell’s Elktracks Studio Facebook Page. I hope to help folks learn more about this great craft of working with leather with a new idea or pattern for each class. This first one will be on carving the Columbine flower. This will be a more realistic type of carving and we will probably follow that with a class on coloring as well. It will be at 4:00 pm Central Standard Time so that it is not too late for my friends in Europe. I hope you can join me. The FREE pattern will be available at https://elktracksstudio.com/ by Saturday.
