10:00 AM-4:00 PM
Cost: $120

You can create a leather shoulder bag with an adjustable strap and tassel. This bag project is recommended for first-time students, but you can also choose from the following projects: a leather belt, passport wallet, journal, phone pouch with a braided strap, drawstring pouch, or clutch purse large enough for a phone and wallet. You may have time to complete an additional item depending on the project you select.

Throughout the workshop, you will learn techniques for cutting leather and various stitching styles. You can also learn how to use a wood-burning tool to inscribe a design directly onto the leather and then colorize it. All leathers, materials, tools, and instructions will be provided, along with templates. No artistic ability or previous leatherworking experience is necessary.

​You only need to bring your lunch, enthusiasm, and a desire to create something beautiful! When registering, please indicate which project you would like to work on.​
