Our ONE DAY LEATHER COURSES focus on making premium small leather goods, such as wallets, notebook holders, card holders and passport holders. The course is designed to teach you all the core basics of traditional leatherwork, including marking and cutting out leather, preparing the leather for hand stitching, saddle stitching by hand, skiving, bevelling and burnishing.
At the end of the day you will have made your very own small leather good, using high quality vegetable tanned leather. No prior experience of leatherwork is necessary.
