The morning will be spent learning the different parts of leather, tanning techniques and how to use leather for your project. You will learn about the tools used in leather work and how to look after and sharpen these tools. How to cut and prepare leather and practice hand stitching techniques.
The afternoon will be spent starting and working on your project, either making a belt or preparing the sections of a shoulder bag or satchel bag to continue through to the next day where you will construct your chosen bag design.
At the end of the course you will have created something that you get to take home with you, and gained the skills needed to further your journey into leather work at home.
