In a relaxed and friendly setting enjoy 4 hours of fun, practical and informative learning making some summer essentials. In a small group of students you'll learn the basics of leatherwork, all about the materials and tools, cutting and preparing natural vegetable tanned leather, and traditional hand stitching techniques, as well as fixing hardware. You'll have the opportunity to personalise your makes with hand stamped details, and you'll go home with some beautiful unique handmade items ready for your Summer hols. You will make 3 items - with a choice from sunglasses case, bookmark, and small coin purse or a choice of keyring or tassel.
10am - 2pm
Tea and homemade cake is provided to keep your energy and creative levels up, and all materials are included in the price. Solid Brass hardware, and a choice of natural vegetable tanned leather in a range of colours. Each leather hide is individually selected for its beautiful natural qualities, complete with hallmarks, scars and markings from the tanning process - a testament to the natural origin of the hide.
If you enjoy this introduction to leatherwork and would like to continue making some other projects at home, you'll be able to purchase a ‘Beginner’s Toolkit’ and a choice of vegetable tanned leather to get you started!
