Starting with a pile of leather and hardware, we’ll cut, glue, stab, punch and even stomp a little bit to build collars in a rainbow of colors, perfectly fit for you or your loved one.This class is for the patient beginner, but those with some leather experience will not find it boring. It’s nice to have experience with cutting straight lines, but ultimately not necessary.All supplies provided, each ticket includes leather, hardware, and use of the necessary tools. Each attendee will take home their own finished collar at the end of class!PLEASE NOTE: THE GLUES WE USE IN CLASS CONTAIN LATEX.
