Learn the basics of making your own handmade leather goods.
About this Event

This class will introduce you to the basic concepts of leather work. You will try out the tools of the trade, learn about different types of leather, and then you will get to hand stitch your own minimalist bifold wallet.

Students will receive a pre-cut bifold blank which they will then fashion into a finished and functional wallet. All by hand.

What will be covered:

  • leather working tools and their purpose
  • the different tannages of leather and their uses
  • saddle stitching: a technique for hand stitching leather
  • assembly and finishing of a bifold wallet (including pricking stitching holes, saddle stitching, edged finishing, and conditioning the final product)

This is a class built around using traditional hand tools. There are no sewing machines involved. If you are experiencing arthritis or another condition that might effect your ability to make repeated small hand movements (like pulling a small needle through a stitching hole) please keep that in mind while registering for this course. Also keep in mind that I'm still happy to have you and will do my best to accommodate you in whatever way I am able. If you have any concerns please email me at [email protected] before signing up.

Class admission closes 24 hours prior to event.
