NICE TO MEET YOU
Hey... I'm Alex Agricola
When I started out, there was no internet, so I had to rely on books and hands on experimentation to develop my skills.
20+ years & thousands of projects on and it’s still surprisingly difficult to find information on leatherwork, especially for armour & costumes... Which is very much a part of WHY I wanted to share my learning ....
....Which is also WHY I made the cost of my Courses and Patterns such ridiculous value .... Because the real reward for me, has always been to witness the transformation in peoples projects !!
Ask any of my students... From Day 1, you have me personally on tap to ask anything !! No matter the question, if it's in my power to guide you, I will.
