A Tangible Skill with Lifelong Impact

From wallets and sheaths to belts and bags, leathercraft helps students create something real—and meaningful. In a world of digital everything, working with your hands improves focus, reduces stress, and boosts brain development by engaging multiple regions of the brain. It also connects students to a craft rooted in tradition—one that's quietly disappearing. By introducing leatherwork in your classroom, you're keeping a legacy alive and giving students a skill they’ll carry for life.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It! Here are what real users have to say:

“Before this program, I had no idea leathercraft could be a career. Now, I’m planning to start my own leather business after graduation.”

High School Student, Frost High School

“With 26 years of experience, I have successfully implemented leatherwork in my Agribusiness pathway through the skills team demonstration, along with National FFA qualifying awards for SAE projects.”

Monica Patrick, Ag Science Teacher

“Leatherwork has allowed our students to acquire industry-based skills, compete for national-level awards, and participate in public relations activities within the school and community.”
