Hello all,
My name is Patrick Wolf. I reside in Ontario, Canada. My leathercraft journey started just over a year ago after being intrigued by the craftsmanship of small leather goods I was seeing online. Without any significant knowledge of the craft, I ran over to my local leather supplier, asked the owner to guide me in the introductory tools and leathers, and started creating. This first exposure to leatherwork was largely focused on western styling making small wallets and leather sheaths. It wasn't until recently that I discovered the various streams of leatherwork, and realized European style leatherwork is where my interest lies. Likely due to the lack of exposure to European styling, I was unaware of the techniques and intricacies that go into producing stylish, sleek leather goods. I am looking forward to working through the lessons and learning the techniques to produce high quality leather goods!
