Where would you take your tooling next?

Every tooled piece begins somewhere: a first cut, a little more control, a detail that finally starts to click.

At Pendleton, Brandon Corral is teaching a full path through the process. From learning how to start tooling to building feathers, working intricate Celtic knots, developing more complex designs, and taking ideas into digital patterns.

Whether you are just beginning or ready to push your design work further, there is room to keep growing.

Start. Refine. Design.
Learn with Brandon at the Pendleton Leather Show, November 4–7.

Your VIP pass also includes early trade-show access, vendor discounts, breakfast, prepaid lunches, Tool Table snacks, a drink token, and a VIP swag bag loaded with extras to keep the learning going.

Only 25 spots available.
