CLASS DESCRIPTIONOver the course of 2.5 hours, this class aims to
teach students the basics of leatherworking. This class will walk
students through creating a basic belt design, choosing the proper
materials (types of leather, leather weights, pre-finished vs. raw
leather, thread type, etc.), selecting the proper tools and using them
correctly, finishing techniques, and more.
CLASS GOALS
Students will gain a basic understanding of leatherworking tools and
methods. They will learn to identify different types of leather and
from there be able to determine the pros and cons of working with each
type. Students leave with the knowledge and ability to not only
complete this project again on their own, but also expand their
knowledge into other similar projects.
MATERIALS FEE
$25; payable to Instructor in class. All materials are provided.
Students are welcome to bring their own buckles if they would like,
but I will have basic buckles they can use.
