Where craft, community, and learning come together.

The Pendleton Leather Show is where leathercrafters come together to learn, connect, and celebrate the craft. From hands‑on classes and live competitions to a lively trade show floor and meaningful conversation, this is a place built for makers at every stage. Come learn side‑by‑side, share ideas, discover new tools and materials, and be part of a community that values the craft as much as you do.

Hands-On Leatherworking Classes

Where Better Leatherwork Begins

Our classes are built around one goal: helping you improve your leatherwork in a meaningful, measurable way. Each workshop focuses on technique, precision, and process so you leave with a clearer understanding of how and why things work.

Classes will span a range of skill levels, from essential fundamentals to advanced methods, and are led by instructors with extensive experience in their field. Smaller class sizes allow for direct instruction, practical demonstrations, and hands-on time to apply what you’re learning.

Full class details, instructors, and schedules will be live on AUGUST 1ST so sign up and we'll send you a link as soon as classes go live.
