Educational opportunities in Cincinnati
The Leather Research Laboratory at the University of Cincinnati will, once again, host a series of educational opportunities in 2025.
It will run its two-day leather orientation course twice, first on April 9 and 10, and then again on September 17 and 18. This course covers the physical structure of leather, species identification, hide supply, wet-end and finishing operations, regulations, testing and customer acceptance issues.
The cost is $1,100 per person with a discounted price of $1,000 for additional participants from the same company.
In the summer, the Leather Research Laboratory will run a course on how to make wet blue from raw hides. This will involve classroom and hands-on training, and will run from July 14-18 at a cost of $2,500 per person.
