We are visiting with Matt Wanner who is a saddle maker out of Utah. Matt works for Burns Saddlery in Salina, UT. He is a man of many hats with Burns. He not only builds fantastic custom saddles for himself and Burns, but he also manages and trains many of the amazing craftsmen that work there creating pieces for the store.

Matt is also a lead instructor for the leather craft education side of Burns Saddlery through their online course program called Illum. He has worked to develop saddle making courses as well as other educational material that helps those interested in getting into the saddle making and/or leather working trade.

You can find Matt on Instagram as well as the Illume Connect website.
