Make something beautiful out of leather! You will learn the basic techniques of designing, cutting, stitching, and decorating your leather bag or belt pouch. Plus you will also learn how to use a wood burning tool to inscribe a design on to your bag (pyrography on leather). Your first bag will be a “standard size” bag where all the pieces are pre-cut and pre-punched for you – all you do is choose the colors of leather and stitch. But your second bag you will do “from scratch” – choose or design a template, cut your leather, punch out the stitch holes, and more. There are several styles, shapes and sizes of bags that you will be able to choose from, along with colors and textures of leather. All tools, leather and materials are provided for the class. You will have enough time to do two bags during the weekend (depending on size and complexity of your second bag). You do not need to bring anything except your desire to learn a new skill and your enthusiasm.
