About this Event

Beginners and experienced are welcome.

During this hands-on workshop, you will explore foundational skills of traditional leathercraft as you hand-craft your very own project to walk away with.

The techniques involved are very easy to grasp and a range of skills can be mastered in one day.

Skills include:

A basic understanding of leather

Stamping, Carving, Embossing

Hand-stitching

Bevelling and Burnishing edges

Colouring and Sealing

Setting Rivets and Press-studs

Plus a variety of modern knowledge and techniques that can add another dimension to your projects.

All tool usage, materials, and refreshments will be provided.

This afternoon workshop will set you up with the knowledge and skills to continue your endeavours in your own home and develop your own flavour over time.

You just need to bring along your inquisitive self and maybe a notebook to jot down some of the finer details.

Spend the day making a traditional, personalised laced leather wallet with tutor Aram Omara.

All materials and tools are supplied, including a pre-made wallet inner, and participants will take home both a finished belt.

Aram has over 40 years of leather-craft experience, and has been teaching classes of all levels and abilities for the last 9 years.

To give you the best experience we have limited this course to only eight places so you will need to act quickly. Aram's last course sold out within a few days.
