Introduction to Leatherwork course
Blackhorse Workshop, 1–2 Sutherland Rd Path, E17 6BX
Wed 12 November 2014, 7-9.30pm
An evening course for absolute beginners, we will teach you the very basics of traditional saddlery, including leather preparation, hands-on hand-stitching and hand-burnishing. Over the course of the evening, you’ll test out these techniques, learning how to double-stitch and create your own personalised leather key ring.
This course is perfect for anyone interested in working with leather, and will provide you with a list of tools, specialist suppliers and the basic equipment you’ll need to get you started.
We are also running another introductory class in January, and a full-day belt-making course (improvers) in February. You could always purchase one of these courses as a Christmas gift.
