Learning Leather Inlay Workshop
Leather is a wonderful medium and has more versatility than many think! In this class we will explore the technique of inlaying other materials in leather to enhance the look of a piece or just give it a bit of style! Students will have the opportunity to learn how to inlay either cabochon stones or other animal skins into leather to create a completely unique look. Students will have a choice to complete this technique on either a wearable piece – such as a cuff bracelet, pendant, earrings or headband – or a small usable piece such as a folding card holder or checkbook cover. This class will cover the basics of patterning, tooling, inlay work, adding hardware and dye work.
Leather Knife Sheath Workshop
A good knife can last you a lifetime if you give it a good home. This class gives you the opportunity to do that. This class will teach you how to design, pattern, sew and treat either a pouch, split toe style or stud style sheath. This sheath can be made with or without a belt loop. We will explore different design aspects and options. Beginners welcome. To participate in this class you will be required to bring a knife to pattern. What style sheath you make will be determined by the kind of knife you bring with you.
