Mini Leather Satchel Workshop

During your day with us, you will learn how to; dye and prepare leather, hand stitch using the traditional two needle saddlers method, fit buckles and fastenings, and bevel and burnish the leather for a super professional finish.

Your tutor will guide you through the making process to complete your leather satchel, which will measure approximately 25cm x 20cm x 10cm.

The workshop will run from 9.30am until 5.00pm. All the materials you need to complete your leather satchel are included in the price, as is a ploughman-style lunch. You will be provided with a workshop apron to wear during your day however, due to the nature of the workshop, we suggest wearing sensible clothing and footwear.

This workshop will provide you with a strong set of basic skills that will enable you to continue your leather work at home, applying these techniques to your own projects.

Please be aware that a lot of stitching and punching holes is required to make your leather satchel, and it can be hard work on the hands. Though not a requirement, some experience of this kind of work is preferable. If you have any questions about whether this workshop is suitable for you, please do not hesitate to contact us.
