Revised May 2016
Individuals and groups of crafters, tanners, manufacturers, leathercraft instructors, supply houses, professional studios - - all share in the program of giving and receiving help through CSCL, the CSCL branches also hold workshops and invite CSCL members from other locations to attend. This not only helps members learn new techniques but also enables them to meet other people with the same interests to network with.
Larmour Memorial Library of Leather Craft Books and DVDs are available to the Branches and Members-at-Large.
