** Leather workers Guild ** The Leatherworkers Guild was established over 25 years and our past President Mrs Pat Oliver was part of the team that helped set up the Epping Centre and her name can be seen on the plaque in the Foyer in the hall as recognition. The Leatherworkers Guild holds workshops 6-8 times a year and a variety and diversity of leather projects are made with the expertise, knowledge and skills of many tutors in Australia. The classes are for all skill levels from Beginners to Advanced, but do not feel you cannot come to a class because your skill is inadequate. Everyone has to start somewhere. The members of the Guild are happy to help and give assistance in any workshop. So if you are interested in attending one our workshops please do not hesitate to come along and have some fun and meet new friends.
