SCULPTURED LEATHER ART SERIES
by JAN SCHOONOVER
About Jan Schoonover
Jan Schoonover is a master leather artist from Billings, Montana. Jan started carving leather after taking a job as a Tandy Leather manager trainee in 1993. Soon after that, Jan saw an embossed leather picture by Robb Barr, and he knew that was the kind of leather work he wanted to do. A few short years later, Jan’s “extreme embossed” grizzly bear took best of show at the first World Leather Debut show in Sheridan, WY. Jan's sculptured leather pictures have sold to collectors throughout the United States and around the world. Jan has been teaching classes on extreme embossing for several years, and now he’d like to pass on all the techniques he’s learned over the years in written lessons.
About the Series
In the Sculptured Leather Art Series, Jan would like to teach you the techniques he has learned over the years to create realistic, three dimensional leather art. Every 6-8 weeks we will try and offer a new project with complete step by step instructions, including color pictures, to guide you through the process. We will include many different subjects in the series including animals, birds, fish and people. Also included in each lesson will be a tracing pattern and list of all the tools and materials need to complete the project. The lessons will be available as PDF files, downloadable from your computer. Cost of the lessons will be $25 US currency and payments can be made through PayPal.
Black Bear
Jan created his first extreme embossed black bear in 1999. He entered it in the International Federation of Leather Guilds show that fall in Denver. The picture won Best Of Show. He has done many black bear pictures since. This lesson contains 40 pages of in depth instructions including over 140 color photographs, all the instructions you need to create a picture that you will be proud to show off, too.

Pronghorn Antelope
In the 1960’s, Jan Schoonover was setting world speed records, racing boats at speeds up to 120 mph. The pronghorn antelope can’t quite beat that, but at 53 mph, it’s the second fastest land mammal in the world. In this lesson, Jan will teach you how to create a realistic, three dimensional picture of a pronghorn antelope. This lesson includes 32 pages of instruction with 128 color photographs to guide you step by step through the process.
