I loved it. Very complete. It motivates you to do work that is still artisanal but at the same time strong in its making. It also inspires you to dedicate time and to be detail-oriented. In this way, I think you achieve a high-quality final product. And if you already have an idea of leather work, it gives you ideas and encourages you to see leather art in a more professional way.

Good day.
This was not what I was looking for.
The tools and material I don't have and not available in South Africa.
I would like a refund so that I can chose a different course.
