Introduction to Leatherwork course, Level: Beginner
Blackhorse Workshop, 1–2 Sutherland Rd Path, E17 6BX
Wed 14 January 2015, 7-9.30pm, £42 + £1.53 fee
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 keyring.
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 a full-day belt-making course for improvers on Sun 8 February 2015, 10-4pm – both courses could be purchased as a Christmas gift.
