At ShopTalk!, we know you want to feel connected to the leather community. To do that, you need to have access to knowledgeable suppliers and be able to discover inspirational stories about other leathercrafters just like you. The problem is finding both in one place which makes you feel discouraged. We believe you should belong to a community where you can relate to other experiences and feel supported. We know firsthand how frustrating it can be to find credible resources and feel a connection to other craftsman because we have been a part of the leather industry for nearly 150 years. At ShopTalk!, this is why we take great care in providing a quality publication where you can do both.
