Please note this is a special trial workshop to test the timings (and get your feedback) on this new workshop. The normal price of this workshop will be £130 per person. For this first trial workshop the price will be reduced to £95 per person. The date of the workshop is Tuesday 28th July.
This workshop is suitable for beginners as it is a little simpler and less stitching, than our full day bag workshop, but it is also great fun for people with some experience, on this one day course you will all be making the simple cross body bag. There are a few different styles and sizes to choose from, please see images. You will get to choose your leather colour, buckles and locks, but there is no option to add pockets or do a different design, if you would like to make a more complicated bag please look at our one day group bag making workshop which has a few more different design to choose from.
The course will begin with students learning the basic leather skills (or refreshing your memory of them) by firstly learning and practicing how to hand stitch leather. You will learn marking out, choosing appropriate leather, hand saddle stitching and edge finishing.
There will be a maximum of 5 people on a workshop, so groups are kept small, with plenty of help available.
Course runs from 9.45am – 3.30pm (we may finish a little earlier or later). An individual packed lunch from our local tea rooms and tea and coffee included in the price. All leather and fittings are included in the price.
Things you will learn in this one day workshop:
Cutting out leather
Hand Saddle Stitching
Constructing a bag
Cutting and making a strap
Riveting
Finish edges (burnishing)
Attaching a buckle
The Strap can be made detachable so you could also use your bag as a clutch bag too.
