Leather Craft Day for Young Makers

Join us at the Leather Conservation Centre for a creative day designed especially for young makers. This hands-on workshop introduces children and young people to leather as a material through playful, accessible making activities.

Guided by members of our specialist team, participants will explore basic leathercraft techniques, learn how leather is made and used, and create their own small leather item to take home. The day is structured to encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence, with plenty of time to experiment, ask questions, and enjoy the process of making.

No previous experience is needed, and all materials and tools are provided. Activities are designed to be age-appropriate, with a strong emphasis on safe handling, creativity, and enjoyment rather than technical perfection.

This workshop is ideal for children and young people aged 7–16 who enjoy hands-on activities, craft, and learning how things are made, and for families looking to spend a relaxed, creative day together.

What to expect:

• A full day of guided leathercraft activities
• Introduction to leather as a material and craft tradition
• Supportive, friendly teaching from LCC staff
• All materials provided
• Finished pieces to take home
