Details
Join me for a hands-on leather flask or handstitched leather bottle covering workshop. In this 3 hr workshop, you will be introduced to the craft of making leather goods by hand. We will cover all the basics of how to construct your own hand-stitched piece. All tools & materials will be provided for your use. You’ll start with a pre-cut piece of vegetable-tanned leather which you will be able to personalize by; hole punching, drawing, dying, or stamping your unique design. Once you have created your design in leather you will hand stitch the leather onto an 8oz stainless steel flask or glass bottle to create your one-of-a-kind custom leather piece for you or as a special gift! All levels welcome.
