In this course there is sufficient time to learn and practice the skills necessary to begin a career or a fulfilling hobby in the creation of handmade saddles. Working conditions are quiet and pleasant. The shop is large, well equipped and brightly lit. Organization is stressed to insure maximum efficiency and profitability. A daily class schedule helps to eliminate duplication of efforts and builds skill level amazingly fast.
Classes are limited to one student at a time.
This ensures all of the individual attention desired by the student in a non-competitive atmosphere. Exchange of ideas and questions are encouraged. All materials for one saddle are included in the tuition. Students use the shop tools and need not bring anything more than a camera and a notebook to make records of their lessons. The saddle built is an SF Bowman style tree with an attractive border stamping of the student's choosing.
