The class focuses on the full design pipeline: concept development, digital composition strategies, analog sketch refinement, and translating flat design into functional leather architecture. Special attention will be given to planning for distortion, flow across form, and maintaining visual cohesion in intricate multi-layered work. By the end of the class, students will have a clearer understanding of how to design more ambitious projects with confidence, and how to combine digital precision with traditional craftsmanship to create cohesive, complex leatherwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" data-pm-slice=\"1 3 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStudents will learn Swift's full design process for building complex leatherwork, including how he combines digital tools and traditional sketching to create detailed templates and blueprints, with a live demonstration of how a complete project plan is developed from concept to final layout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials Needed:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eNote taking materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrandon “Swift” Corral is an award-winning leather artist, educator, and content creator known for his dramatic tooling style, sculptural leatherwork, and non-traditional approach to teaching.
