Craft your own leather wallet from scratch!
Dive into the world of leatherworking by crafting a sleek, minimalist card holder wallet. You'll get to master essential skills including cutting, assembling, gluing, hand stitching, and finishing your leather wallet. And best of all, you'll walk away with a stylish, everyday wallet and hands-on experience.
No experience is required. Perfect for beginners eager to explore leathercraft! Participants must be at least 15 years old (those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). All materials and tools will be provided for use during the class.
So how will the class work?
You'll start by selecting leather pieces for your unique one-of-a-kind custom wallet. We'll then dive into a little about leather and its characteristics before we get our hands working! You'll get to glue, assemble, cut, and finish your wallet!
Although the class is scheduled for 3 hours, on average the class runs about 2.5 hours.
