Working with Leather

Spend a few weeks learning the basics of manufacturing leather goods, utilising traditional old-timey practices such as saddle stitching, skiving, and burnishing while using the toughest natural materials around Bristol. Buckle up for a ruggedy hands-on experience. In the first two weeks we will be going through the techniques and equipment, then we will start working on a leather product chosen by you. Leather products: bifold card wallet | card wallet | coin pouch | key accessory | belt Sustainable practice: Leather is a bi-product of the food industry in service of many trades as a durable, reliable, and natural resource. Using saddle-grade vegetable-tanned leather from the local Bristol tannery, which is traditionally produced, chemical free we can prevent this surplus material from ending up in landfills. Therefore I offer a lifetime warranty on all goods produced through this workshop. Committed to respectfully fabricating everything here in the UK. Forever on the quest of making the most durable goods. Testimonials: It was a small group, which meant we all got time with the tutor and there was plenty of space. Filip was an excellent tutor, very fun to learn from and able to answer all questions and explain things patiently and expertly. Working with leather and learning about the tools required was very fun. Filip has a very entertaining manner of teaching. He is obviously skilled at his craft and demonstrated techniques clearly.
