Curious about leatherworking? LaunchSpace Mobile Makers Space is coming to the Carnegie Library! Join us for an introduction to leather tooling, the art of stamping, carving, and embossing designs into leather. You'll learn basic techniques and experiment with tools used to create texture, patterns, and decorative details on pliable leather. Using recycled leather scraps from custom projects, participants will create their own unique book cover to take home. Whether you're interested in crafting, design, or simply trying something new, this hands-on workshop is a great way to explore a traditional art form while giving materials a second life. If weather conditions are poor, the program will be held at the Brick House Community Resource Center.
This program is supported by grant funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, as administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, and the Library Initiative for Teens and Tweens.
