Discover traditional leatherworking techniques and make something beautifully practical to take home.
Spend a relaxed morning in the Williams Handmade workshop learning how to transform a piece of leather into either your own handmade leather belt or a leather dog collar and lead.
Suitable for complete beginners as well as those who have tried leathercraft before, this half-day workshop introduces you to a range of traditional skills, with Sarah guiding you through each stage.
You'll choose from our selection of leathers and buckles, allowing you to create a finished piece that's personal to you — or your four-legged friend!
Cutting leather straps
Edge bevelling and creasing
Traditional hand saddle stitching
Riveting
Edge finishing and burnishing
Fitting buckles and hardware
Each person will make either one leather belt or one dog collar and lead set.
The workshop runs from approximately 10:00am–1:30pm and costs £85 per person.
All materials are included, along with cake, tea and coffee.
You can pay in full when booking or pay a £40 deposit, with the remaining £45 payable on the day.
The dog collar and lead designs available are those shown in the workshop photographs. Unfortunately, there isn't enough time within the half-day session to make more complicated padded, rolled or greyhound-style collars.
Please note: Workshop deposits and payments are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to another date within one month of the booked workshop.
