We are excited to share that Shelley will be offering an exclusive series of leather workshops across Wales this winter (2025-2026) as a fundraiser for Welsh Women's Aid in the lead up to London Marathon in 2026, where she will be representing the charity.
Course Details:
Create a Medieval Leather Drinking Flask
Learn and practice a range of traditional leatherworking skills such as cutting, bevelling, hand stitching, wet moulding, riveting and burnishing, with founder of Battle Horse Ltd, Shelley Musker Turner, who has over a decade of experience making leather props and saddlery for the film industry.
Leave with your own hand crafted and fully functional medieval style leather drinking flask as well as the fundamental skills to start any leatherworking project of your own. You will also receive a useful handout with a list of recommended British suppliers of the tools and materials that were used on the course.
