The Maker’s + Illume School Program

Bring Leathercraft to Your Classroom

Today’s students need more than textbooks—they need hands-on experiences that spark creativity, build confidence, and teach real-world skills. That’s why Maker’s Leather Supply has partnered with Learn with Illume to create a school program designed specifically for Ag, CTE, and FFA educators.

With this program, you’ll have everything you need to introduce leathercraft in your classroom—curriculum, pre-cut project kits, tools, and expert-led instruction—all in one easy-to-implement package.
