Hi everyone,
I'm a leathercrafter who lives in Edinburgh, originally from a town in Aetolia, Greece.
I wasn't born into this craft.
I was a carpenter in Germany for a few years, converting van to campervans; and a chef in Greece and Scotland for over a decade.
Leathercraft was a hobby for me for about 3 years until I slowly started my own business a few months ago.
I found Phil's videos on YT among other leather artisans and I was trying to decide which one of the courses out there would help me the most.
I'm on my first month watching Phil's course and I realised that I know nothing; and I'm so happy about that.
I created bags among other stuff in the past trying to re-invent the wheel in other words, trying to learn everything myself and the result was good based on people's feedback but not in my eyes. It was full of mistakes and I wish I'd taken this course earlier.
Phil, God bless you for all these lessons you have given us.
