Heya,
I've noticed that a lot of us here like to work with leather for various projects. Certainly one can find a wealth of info online and learn through experimentation, but I find that it is helpful to take classes. Specifically, I like online classes since my particular territory is fairly rural. At any rate I stumbled across this little gem by Alex Agricola of Black Raven Armoury. It is a leather armor making course, but the skills he is teaching would be applicable to anything. As an engineering/design teacher myself there are a few things I REALLY love about this course.
-It goes into a lot of design theory as opposed to just telling you how to make certain things, or use tools
-It consists of 12 modules that get released every 30 days : This is key because the first couple of modules are all about design. This means you are FORCED to develop good design skills.
-He offers a certification
-His stuff is positively breathtaking.
