A course by José Luis Bazán
His grandfather and father taught José Luis Bazán to work in the leather trade, and from there he began his journey as a third-generation leather craftsman, founding his own workshop at the age of 18 and becoming the "leather alchemist." From his workshop, he designs and produces pieces that are distributed internationally.
He has also worked with the Louis Vuitton group, Loewe, and has collaborated with publications such as Elle, Vogue, and Oficio y arte, among others. He firmly believes that craftsmanship is a cycle that is completed when you transfer your experience on to others, so he shares his knowledge in every course he teaches and has also been fortunate to pass the craft on to his own family.
