Leather craft has been around for centuries, yet even now, nothing conveys modern and chic with more ease than leather. In this 4 hour experience, you will learn the basic techniques of handmade leather working and create a small leather product of your own!
The Leather Workshop Experience
Your instructor will first introduce you to the essential leather craft tools. You will then be guided through the leather working process from start to finish - he will demonstrate how to draft the leather pieces, cut them out precisely, how to stitch the pieces together and finally, how to finish the item with accents.
For this workshop, you may choose to make one of the following five products:
- Card holder
- Coin purse
- Name badge holder
- Earphones bag
- Bracelet
You can customize the colour of the leather and can even personalize it further by embossing your name onto the product. To have a long lasting and elegant effect for your name, the instructor will add a glaze of golden or silver colour on your name using the hot stamping technique.
At the end of the day, you will take home a sleek and polished leather product that you can proudly say was made by your hands alone!
