Learn the basics of leathercraft and make something beautiful to give as a gift — from a small pouch to jewelry or handmade leather ornaments for the tree.
In this creative one-day workshop, you’ll explore the basics of working with leather: practicing stitches on a test piece, discovering different types of leather, and then diving into your own small project — such as a pouch, belt bag, or a personal idea. This special edition is gift-themed, with extra inspiration for handmade presents like jewelry, small leather items, or animal-shaped ornaments for the holidays. You’ll work with beautiful reclaimed leather from the fashion and furniture industries, choosing your own color and texture. You’ll go home with your finished piece, a pattern for future use, and — if you like — some extra leather to keep creating.
