Theory and practice on offer
22/05/2009
UK-based BLC Leather Technology Centre Limited has once again teamed up with the British School of Leather Technology (BSLT) to offer a leather-making training course from 22 June to 3 July 2009.
This ten day course will be split into practical leather making and the commercial aspects of leather in the global marketplace.
Week one will be spent on site at the British School of Leather Technology (BSLT), based at the University of Northampton. Each delegate will carry out the process of making their own leather from raw material to finished product. This process will involve all participants using machinery that would be operated in a working tannery. This direct hands-on element of the course will be supplemented with the relevant theory.
Week two will be held at BLC Leather Technology Centre Ltd (BLC) and will involve the commercial aspects of leather after manufacture. BLC will work with delegates to give an insight into supply chain issues including critical factors in leather making, performance, restricted substances, environmental aspects, problem solving and trouble shooting.
BLC said on announcing the course that it represented a "unique opportunity" to carry out practical leather-making and receive a global view of leather in the marketplace.
