This two-day course is intended to give you a basic understanding of leather and the tools and techniques you need to create your own items from it.

You will learn..

• What leather is and how it is produced.
• The different types and applications of leather.
• How to make patterns
• Marking out, cutting and efficient use of the hide
• Using edging tools and edge finishing
• Creating stitch holes
• The different types of thread and how to sew leather
• All about dyes, surface finishes and polishes
• Incorporating buckles and studs etc into your projects

 

This course is intended to show you the techniques so you can make your own items rather than being a course where you complete a project to take away. As such it is packed full of useful information.

All tools and materials will be provided for the duration of the workshop and a comprehensive handout will be given to each participant upon completion
