Introduction to the AMBLARD Method

Your $800 is a credit toward Level 1. Enroll within 60 days and your first day at the bench counts toward the Core Program.

This one‑day immersion introduces you to our tools, processes and philosophy. From 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. you learn how to read patterns, mark and cut leather, perform the true saddle stitch, and burnish them. You practice on a small project—often a snap pouch—and leave with a working knowledge of the method. It’s an excellent primer before Level 1 or a standalone experience for curious hobbyists.

All Level 1 fundamentals: pattern making, saddle stitch, edge finishing, and basic assemblies, delivered in a daily cadence for faster muscle‑memory development.
