The Leather Life Educational Series is a class series focused on developing, maturing, and growing the leather community in the Greater Columbus area. Classes are presented quarterly and focus on different aspects of leather culture.  Presenters are a combination of local and regional leaders as well as talented presenters from other parts of the nation.

For many years now, the leather community in Columbus has struggled to thrive. Leather clubs like Trident, NLA, and OLA have disbanded, and we lost our leather bar eXile many years ago.  The Columbus Leather Collective wants to bring a revival of leather culture in Columbus through social events, skills demos, leather gear swap meets, and leather education.  We seek to promote an inclusive community of leather folk who understand and embrace their historical roots while also adapting to our constantly evolving society.

You will not find classes on BDSM and kink in this series generally.  This series' focus will remain on the Leather lifestyle and leave those topics to the multitude of events and organizations that regularly provide kink and BDSM education.
