His enjoyme nt of working with leather is coming to fruition through his crafting of v arious styles of pouches and bags\, with the added feature of inscribed im ages on the front of the pouches. Tom uses a wood-burning tool to inscribe the images free hand directly onto the leather. The color on the bags is created by adding India Inks and/or acrylic leather paints. Each pouch is a unique work of art\, and no two are alike. Tom teaches at numerous venue s across north Georgia\, including at several craft schools: John C. Campb ell\, Arrowmont\, William Holland\, and others.\n\nSaturday\, June 19th 11 am - 4 pm  Complete the project in one day\n\nor\n\nSaturday July 10th 11am - 4 pm    Complete the project in one day\n\nCost: $85\n\nMinimum# in Class: 3\n\nMaximum # in Class: 8\n\nBRING YOUR LUNCH\n\nAges: 13 and up\n\nYou will have time to make a leather shoulder bag of your choice or choose from any of the following projects: Leather belt\, wallet\, passpor t wallet\, journal\, phone belt pouch\, drawstring pouch\, Scottish Sporra n\, instrument strap\, lady’s wallet\, clutch purse\, a "Man Bag"\, and more.
