LEATHER I & II

INSTRUCTOR: TOM SLAVICEK

 

You will have time to make up to 5 to 7 projects depending on size and complexity. Choices for your projects can be from the following: Make a leather shoulder bag or two, learn how to use a wood burning tool to inscribe a design onto the leather and then colorize it, depending on time make a small backpack, a couple of leather belts, wallets, passport wallet, journal, belt pouch for your phone, instrument strap, lady’s wallet, clutch purse, and more. All leathers (including bison, water buffalo, and beautiful embossed leathers), materials, tools, and instructions are provided, along with templates. A “Trading Post” will be available for you to purchase extra tools, materials, and leathers. If you have an idea for a leather project, you can bring it and can make it real. As time allows, you can learn how to make tassels and fringe to add to your projects. No artistic ability is necessary, nor is any previous leather working experience. You do not need to bring anything except your enthusiasm, and your desire to make something beautiful!
