Tooling with Clair is an upcoming online membership for leatherworkers who want to improve their technique and create greater depth, detail and control in their work.

Learn directly from Clair through clear instruction, practical demonstrations and supportive guidance designed to help you understand the craft, not simply copy someone else’s work.

You’ll be taken to Clair’s online learning platform to join the waitlist.
