5 reasons to invest in one-on-one Saddle Making School
1. A full week with Dave — focused entirely on you
You're not sharing the instructor's time with a room full of students. For five days, Dave can work alongside you, answer your questions and help you through each stage as you build.
2. You choose the saddle you want to make 🐴
You're not handed a predetermined project. Choose the style that suits you — from a Western Stock through to a Wade, and build the skills around the saddle you're actually interested in making.
3. Learn by actually doing
This isn't sitting in a classroom watching someone else make a saddle. You're hands-on throughout the process, with Dave there to guide you, demonstrate techniques and help you correct things as you go.
4. Work at YOUR pace
Everyone learns differently. With one-on-one tuition, there's no trying to keep up with a group or waiting for everyone else to catch up. Spend more time on the areas you need and move forward when you're ready.
5. Immerse yourself in the craft for a whole week
Five days surrounded by leather, tools, saddles and an experienced saddler gives you something you simply can't get from watching videos or reading a book. You get to see, feel and understand the little things that come with years of hands-on experience.
And at the end of the week…
You haven't just attended a course.
You've spent a week learning to build a saddle of your chosen style, alongside a master craftsman, and taken home skills you can continue to build on for years to come.
That's an investment in a skill — and in yourself. 🤎🐴
