Workshop Summary:
This workshop will teach you how to draw Sheridan style floral designs directly onto leather. No need to sketch it out beforehand, I will show you a step-by-step method to make this process easier than you’ve imagined. This method has been taught to me in various ways by several leather masters that I have then modified to my own style. I hope to break down the process into a two-day drawing and tooling class. I will teach you how to use tap off flowers, plan out your layout, fill space, connect circles, and the proper swivel knife and tooling order to maximize depth.
Day one will be spent learning the method as I present all the information to the class. We will practice drawing and if time allows, get to tooling as soon as possible. I want to emphasize repetition of each step so we will be going back over each step and then practicing that step as we go. Let’s make lots of mistakes so we can learn how to fix them while having fun! This is an intermediate level class (some past drawing/tooling experience).
About Kristin Allen:
I was born and raised in a small ranching community in southwest Colorado. I grew up around ranching and always had an interest in horses. That is what started my journey with leather work—the desire to make my own working gear. I spent a lot of my early years cowboying for various outfits, shoeing horses, as well as training and selling horses. I slowly picked up a few leather pointers from fellow cowboys along the way, borrowing and eventually buying a few tools here and there. I spent many hours alone in whatever bunkhouse I was living in teaching myself the leather craft. I started selling items online which eventually turned into a business. As the years went by and the demand for my art increased, I invested in better tools and sought out classes to improve my skills.
Now, I do leather work full time and cowboying is my side hustle. My background cowboying shaped my style as an artist today and I am so grateful for the journey it has taken me on. I still enjoy making working cowboy gear with an emphasis on an artistic flair. With every piece I make I try to document the working cowboy and my love for that culture.

Kathleen Brannon is a Bead Artist living in the Northern Nevada High Desert. Her work maintains the integrity of color and symbolism used by the Ancients in Petroglyphs and in Ceremonies. Kathleen simply transforms the symbols into contemporary form. Each piece is personally designed and handcrafted. Sheets of aluminum are sheared into strips, bent, then covered in natural hide. Once the bead work is completed, it is handstitched to the basic cuff.

Lisa Barnes’ journey in the horse industry began in Southern California during her childhood, when she worked at a pony ride and petting zoo. Under the mentorship of the owner, Linda Menary, Lisa learned not only the values of hard work but also the importance of living with passion. Linda’s zest for life and dedication to helping others inspired Lisa to embrace challenges, roll up her sleeves, get dirty and enjoy every moment of your life.
Lisa’s career in the horse industry has lead her into a wide variety of roles, primarily in Alaska. She became a farrier after learning how to shoe horses out of necessity, eventually attending the Kentucky Horse Shoeing School. Lisa’s deep understanding of the equine world continued to grow as she managed the Soldotna Rodeo Grounds, organizing and producing events for the local community.
In the mid-1980s, Lisa worked as an outfitter in Alaska, where she packed hunters and tourists into remote camps with their gear and supplies, and later packed out their hunted game. Through these rugged years, and an education in the school of hard knocks, Lisa learned valuable lessons, especially the importance of preparation and safety. By reaching out to experienced guides, learning proper knot-tying, saddle and pad fitting and training animals before putting hunted game on their backs for the first time, she was able to make life safer with less disasters.
Today, Lisa is a Certified Equine Dentist, offering her expertise to ensure the health and well-being of horses. For recreation, she enjoys team roping, participating in wagon trains with her team and wagon, packing and trail riding and working her stock dogs. Lisa is honored to be returning as a presenter and participant at the Art of the Cowgirl event, where she continues to share her knowledge and passion for the equine world.
Lisa’s commitment to both the art and science of horsemanship, combined with her adventurous spirit, makes her a truly inspiring figure in the horse community.

Born in 1945 in Oklahoma City, Shorty, given name “Lavonna,” spent most of her youth in the tiny community of Fairfax in Oklahoma’s northeastern Osage County. Shorty got her first horse when she was a teenager. She taught herself to ride bareback, eventually galloping into the world of barrel racing and bull riding. Although Shorty worked the rodeo circuit, earning a name for herself as a fearless rider and for her never-say-die spirit, she struggled to find a career that would fulfill her cowboy dreams. She ran a Western store for a while, helped a friend start a Subway sandwich shop, and ponied horses up the starting line at the horse races at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds raceway.
“Honestly, I was obsessed with cowboy culture,” Shorty says. “My love was always with the Western lifestyle.”
After Shorty’s father died in the 1970s, her brother sent off two of her father’s cowboy hats to be renovated and cleaned. “When my brother got those hats back and they were ruined, he told me ‘As much as you love rodeos, you ought to get in the hat-cleaning business.’ It was like a bolt of lightning. I said, ‘Holy cow. What a great idea!” Like everything else in her life, Shorty learned the art of hat renovation and creation by trial and error.
Shorty now owns and runs Shorty’s Caboy Hattery in Oklahoma City and travels throughout the country to massive shows and competitions. Each of Shorty’s hats starts out with quality beaver and rabbit fur from Ukraine. Each custom hat takes at least five days to make, but the handcrafted effort pays off. In Shorty’s eyes, everybody who wears one of her hats is a celebrity.

“Sit tall in the saddle. Hold your head up high. Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky.” – Chris LeDoux
Rooted in Western values, Judy Wagner draws on over 40 years of experience in the Western industry, using authentic storytelling to build trust, inspire action, and create lasting connections.
This workshop is inspired by the Western tradition of Riding for the Brand, standing for something greater than yourself, giving your best, and leading with shared values and purpose. At its heart are three pillars: Brand Building, Storytelling, and Leadership in Motion.
Participants will explore the importance of a well-structured Brand Building strategy, review a model plan, analyze its components, and engage in customer assessments to create a personal Value-Added Model.
“People don’t buy what we do. They buy why we do it. Demographics don’t buy products, emotions do.” Through a customer-centered Value Model exercise, participants will uncover their customers’ emotional needs, gaining insights and practical tools to build a brand worth talking about.
Value Models highlight what matters most to customers. With this clarity comes awareness, focus, and the ability to magnify storytelling through a Value-Based Model. These insights become foundational, whether launching new products, creating programs, or strengthening existing brands. They shape perceptions, align teams, and create lasting impact.
Why does this matter? Because storytelling is essential to building a dynamic, authentic brand. It serves as a multiplier, elevating our ability to motivate, sell, inspire, engage, and lead.
The workshop includes the Nice Job, Cowgirl Workbook: Brand Building, Storytelling & Leadership in Motion, designed to support participants in building their brands, products, or services.
This hands-on, practical approach is guided by Judy’s “Ranch-Grown Logic” and emphasizes crafting brand-building tactics through her Wheel of Influence tool, a wagon wheel metaphor spotlighting key cornerstones of brand strength and purpose-driven leadership. Participants will also be introduced to Judy’s signature leadership mantra, DOWIT, Do Whatever It Takes, a practical guide for action, clarity, and impact.
At the end of the workshop, attendees will leave with a personalized blueprint, ready to implement on their journey toward purposeful leadership, value-added branding, and Leadership in Motion.
Let’s ride!
