Pendleton Leather Show
The Pendleton Leather Show is where leathercrafters come together to learn, connect, and celebrate the craft. From hands‑on classes and live competitions to a lively trade show floor and meaningful conversation, this is a place built for makers at every stage. Come learn side‑by‑side, share ideas, discover new tools and materials, and be part of a community that values the craft as much as you do.
Classes: Our classes are built around one goal: helping you improve your leatherwork in a meaningful, measurable way. Each workshop focuses on technique, precision, and process so you leave with a clearer understanding of how and why things work. Classes will span a range of skill levels, from essential fundamentals to advanced methods, and are led by instructors with extensive experience in their field. Smaller class sizes allow for direct instruction, practical demonstrations, and hands-on time to apply what you’re learning. Full class details, instructors, and schedules will be live on August 1.
Leatherworking Competitions: The Pendleton Leather Show hosts judged leatherworking competitions built around serious craftsmanship and fair evaluation. With Novice and Open divisions in each category, these competitions welcome new makers while still challenging experienced professionals. This year, we’re backing it up with the best prize package in the industry. Valuable feedback, meaningful recognition, and prizes that respect the level of work required. Proudly show off your work, and compete for a piece of the prize pool!
Vendors & Trade Show: The Pendleton Leather Show brings together trusted vendors who are deeply invested in the leathercraft community. Shop high‑quality tools, leather, sewing supplies, and more, all while connecting directly with the makers, suppliers, and brands that keep the craft moving forward.
