Cool experience doing leather work 101!
I’m not a very creative person, yet I came out of here with a clutch I made myself that I am absolutely obsessed with.
There were 5 total in the class all making different items and she worked with each of us at our own pace and kept us all on track!
Thank you to Steven for teaching me the basics of leather work in the intro class!
I took the 101 class on a weeknight, the instructor was friendly and helpful, the lesson itself was intimate (4 of us were all around one large work bench) and I can’t wait to go back!!
I came in with a cuff I wanted to replicate and Naomi discovered the clasp was faulty and helped me fix it - an added bonus.
Dynamite team building experience, took coworkers to do the leatherwork class with Ray.
If you want to start learning how to work with leather, this school offers various classes based on your leather interests, from bags to shoes to body harnesses.
Eli was our instructor, and they did such a good job at walking us through all the steps,creating a fun environment, and welcoming our errors - I mean character - we added to our products, and celebrating our accomplishments!
You walk home with a beautiful handcrafted item that you can be proud to say you made.
