Leather Craft Seminars

The C.T. Chappell Boot Shop offers seminars on basic leather craft techniques, for hobby or pleasure, beginning with an introduction to American cowboy boot making. Each boot making seminar is limited to six people, who will each make one pair of cowboy boots. Participants who complete the twelve-day, two-week, boot making seminar will receive a certificate of completion. A set of more than nine DVDs on introductory boot making is included with paid registration, and a workbook is provided during class. Other leather craft instruction is offered by appointment, on a one-to-one basis. Call 940-995-2600, Tuesday to Saturday, from 10am-6pm, to join an upcoming seminar.

The next three seminars are scheduled for:
February 8-20, 2010
June 7-19, 2010
September 6-18, 2010
