Many well intentioned people are literally wasting hundreds of hours and spending thousands buying the wrong tools, the incorrect leather and learning from the wrong sources.
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 forward. How is anybody supposed to stay excited like this?
This is why the Leathercraft Masterclass was created:
To teach you the fundamental skills of fine leathercraft through a series of technique based and project based courses which turn these new skills into practical knowledge you can use right now.
By exposing secrets industry experts won’t share, you will open the door to a new world of leathercraft knowledge, bringing you the real results you deserve.
It’s easy to master the craft when you have a clear direction and a system of steps laid out for you to follow.
The Leathercraft Masterclass is a powerful confidence
boosting tool and a time saving investment:
Instead of wasting valuable time searching the internet for snippets of information and trying to assemble them like a frustrating puzzle, what could you be doing with all the spare hours you’ll now have?

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'.
But, enough about me!
See what students of the Leathercraft Masterclass are saying about their experiences with the courses and how these videos have changed their craft forever:

Leathercraft Masterclass is one of the very few places in existence where you will be guided through the 'head spinning' world of leather. and in great detail, learn the craft of making fine leather goods. Philip is the definition of a true craftsman and is doing his part to keep the trade alive!
Noa Greenspan
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!
Carswell Leather
I bought the [6 month Plan] and have been blown away by the quality and high standard of Philip's teaching, leathercraft and video making skills.
It’s the best money I ever spent!
Elense Leatherworks
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.

The courses are individually valued at £83.50 ($99.54) each. With over 80 courses, this would normally be over £6,680 ($7,963.20) for all the courses combined.
However, the intent of the Masterclass has always been about passing on essential knowledge to as many crafts people as possible who are open to discovering the essential knowledge of fine leathercraft.
This is why ALL of the courses combined (80+) are so competitively priced.
For example, a 6 Month Video Plan at £197 ($238.67) brings the price down to under £2.40 ($2.30) per course!
While the number of new courses goes up every 3-4 weeks, the value of the Video Plan membership goes up too.
This means we have to periodically increase the prices of the Video Plans to reflect this value increase.
However if you start your Video Plan today, you can lock in the lower price, which means even if there is a price increase, this will not affect you at all.

Stephen O'Hare
How to construct projects and the order of things has been a big learning point. Satisfying to get that clear in my head.
Justin Tomlin
There are things covered in every course that can be applied to any number of leather projects.
Fadi /Far Leathergoods
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.
Dwight Alwine
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!
