About this Event
Instructor - Hope Zimmerman
Hope has been working with leather for over 20 years, specializing in belt making. During that period, they developed their techniques in using the hand tools needed to create high-end leather work. Once their mentor started asking for guidance in his dye work, they realized they were ready to share their skills with others. Join them in learning how to use the tools needed for your own finished leather piece, starting with their introduction class "Getting to know the tools".
