“Step Into A World Inspired by History”
‘LEATHER ARMOUR CRAFTING MASTERY’ is currently Black Raven Academy’s most comprehensive knowledge base; A ‘Magnum Opus’ of Learning Content, Patterns and Work Books, designed to guide Makers and Crafters from ‘square one’, to the absolute limits of what is possible, whether that’s building Armour for your Clan, or developing a profitable business out of this rare and respected skill-set. Time to write your own chapter in History!
No more “wondering how much leather you’ll need” or “How many rivets”… I’ll even let you know “Which Tools” you’ll be needing & “How to use them”
It still amazes me that despite the world being at our fingertips these days, with likes of YouTube etc…
…Finding Professional guidance you can really trust (that’s actually willing to share without leaving out the juicy bits) Seems lost in a sea of conflicting information, while everyone battles for views & followers!
Now IMAGINE…. Being Guided… Step by Step, Walked through the entire process I Have used for over 25 years… And YES… You’ll ACTUALLY learn how to create YOUR VERY OWN, designs or the Armours pictured, no matter your level of experience…
Even now… looking back through the whole creation process… I knew I wanted to give people a choice…
…Invest in patterns and courses at your own pace, or make a significant saving by owning EVERYTHING you need, via a one off, heavily discounted purchasing opportunity (That’s what the ‘CRAFTING MASTERY’ set is all about)…
Truthfully… (and I’m pretty sure all our students would agree) I wish I’d had this kind of guidance 20+ years ago!… not to mention the community of supportive fellow students, to reach out to for encouragement…
Because working from our courses or using our patterns means they Save Valuable Time & MONEY with the peace of mind they have been created by professionals, and…
Because… they know We understand that life often gets in the way of THE FUN STUFF! which is why EVERYTHING is designed for you to work at your own pace… No deadlines!
All our courses & patterns require little more than a small workbench and seven basic tools… I know… Crazy, but that’s all I PERSONALLY USE… Meaning no matter your experience… Literally ANYONE can do this! (and we are here to help make sure you can!)
Don’t know where to find all your bits needed ??…. It’s No Problem 🙂 just contact our customer support karen@blackravenarmoury.co.uk we will send you a list of the few bits you may need & where to get them!

Hey… I’m Alex Agricola
When I started out, there was no internet, so I had to rely on books and hands on experimentation to develop my skills.
20+ years & thousands of projects on and it’s still surprisingly difficult to find information on leatherwork, especially for armour & costumes… Which is very much a part of WHY I wanted to share my learning…
…Which is also WHY I made the cost of my Courses and Patterns such ridiculous value… Because the real reward for me, has always been to witness the transformation in peoples projects!
Ask any of my students… From Day 1, you have me personally on tap to ask anything! No matter the question, if it’s in my power to guide you, I will.
Unsure where to find all your bits needed or questions during the build??… No Problem 🙂

All of these projects have been built using the minimal of basic tools & I am pretty sure, if you’re anything like me… I like to keep things nice and simple… So no need for anything fancy, literally $50-$60 worth of tools all available on Ebay or Amazon should do the trick.
Absolutely…. In fact ask any of our alumni…. Our optional student group on facebook are one of the most supportive peer to peer groups I have ever had the honour of being part of.
Questions with relation to any of the subjects covered in class are openly discussed as are further techniques outside of those taught in each module..
Each course comes with 12 months Tutor Support ongoing.

…To my knowledge, no question asked asked of me has been left unanswered 🙂
