By way of intro, I've been making leather items for about 18 months as a hobby but would like to do more. I live in Wiltshire, England. I am mainly self taught but did attend a week long course with Valerie Michael in January and a weekend introduction course before that with another local maker. Those courses sparked a deeper interest in high end leatherwork using the best materials. I am hooked on buying tools (most of which I don't seem to use) and really interested to see what everyone else is making. I find it inspiring to see what is possible. Time is short for me with a full time job but I am currently looking forward to starting a new project. All the best Malcolm
