10/07/2026 – How to Carve a Dragon – Roz Kaohn

I developed this technique back in 1991, and was henceforth and forever known as “The Dragon Lady”! In this class I will teach you how to carve a dragon! Each time you start one, you begin the same way, but the best part is they all come out different and unique! After learning this technique you will be able to create other animals and creatures as well into whatever you can imagine!

Remember the most important part is to have fun!

About Roz Kaohn aka “The Dragon Lady”:

This is my 41st year in leathercrafting. I have written 5 how to books with projects, pictures, and patterns. I have created my own tools and taught many classes. I have won numerous awards for my creations. I received the Al Stohlman award in 2000. Shortly thereafter I received the Life Time Achievement award from IFoLG and am a Grand Master as well in IFoLG. My goal now is to continue to teach and share my love of the art of leather working with as many people as I can!
