Leathercrafting Series – Group Workshops

Learn the art of leathercraft from master craftsman Jack Smith in our hands‑on group workshops near Bakersfield, California, open to all skill levels. Jack has over 30 years of experience in leatherworking, saddle making, and Western gear design, and he’s passionate about sharing his knowledge with others. Whether you’re a complete beginner, a hobbyist, or an experienced maker, our Leathercrafting Series offers something for everyone.

Each class focuses on a different skill set—from understanding leather and tools to building projects, mastering decorative techniques, and designing fully custom gear. You’ll work alongside Jack in a small‑group setting where you’ll receive personal guidance, learn traditional techniques, and gain the confidence to take on any leather project.
