Come learn the truly timeless art of leatherworking, a craft that is thousands of years old, yet remains so effective that many of our old techniques and tools still resonate through to our current practices today.
This comprehensive, 4 hour hands-on workshop will teach you everything you need to know in order to get started creating and personalizing high quality leather projects. By the end of the workshop, you will have created your very own fully customized leather keychain to take home. This class is designed for all skill levels. If you are looking to hone your existing skills, or you've never touched a piece of leather or hand tool in your life, this workshop is designed for you.
Site3 will provide all tools and materials. Instructor Jacob Johnson will provide demonstrations, explain different types of leather, discuss various tools of the trade, provide guidance and answer any questions you may have. Your keychain will be created from top-grain, hand dyed vegetable tanned leather (vegan options are available upon request). Customize each part of your project by choosing your thread, hardware and leather colour, as well as learning how to use a wide range of stamps in order to truly personalize this practical pocket project.When properly built and cared for, leather goods can last a lifetime and will develop the beautiful patina that only true leather goods can achieve.
The class runs for 4 hours, with a short break in the middle. Be aware that there is so much covered in the class that it can run overtime if attendees are willing to stick around longer and go into extra depth, Jacob will be sure to make sure your project is complete if you must head out by the scheduled end of class.
There will be a fair amount of hands on hammering, cutting, sanding and a technique called saddle-stitching (where you use two blunted needles at once). It is recommended to bring some kind of lunch/snack and hydration.
