In this full-day class, students will learn the techniques Swift uses to create bold dimension, sharp detail, and convincing lift within their tooling. The class will cover a wide range of depth techniques including beveling strategies, shadow creation, edge treatment, texture layering, and methods for creating the illusion of separation from the leather surface. Students will finish the day with a detailed feather carving designed to look as though it is lifting directly off the leather. This class is technique-heavy and ideal for leatherworkers looking to push their tooling beyond flat carving and into more dynamic, eye-catching work.\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\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAward-winning leather artist Brandon “Swift” Corral is known for dramatic depth, realism, and sculptural tooling effects that appear to push beyond the surface of the leather itself.
