Learn how to make a leather belt



3 hours Class size 12 to 60     label $160

Learn basic leatherwork skills and make your own custom belt in this three-hour, project-based workshop.

With a focus on the material, tools and process, you’ll learn basic leathercrafting techniques and put them into practice creating your very own leather belt. Try your hands at cutting leather, bevelling and burnishing and go home with a finished piece that you will be proud of for years to come!

Along the way you will also gain some insight into working with leather, it’s structure and layers, find out the difference between ‘full-grain’ and ‘genuine’ leather, and how to properly care for your leather items. A fun, hands-on and practical workshop suitable for beginners, or anyone in need of a fancy new belt.

Aaron Douglas Wales is a young craftsman, musician and teacher raised amongst the sandstone gorges of the Southern Highlands NSW. Since he was a young lad Aaron maintained a curiosity for all things concerning the ‘old world.’ whether it be blacksmithing, saddle making, wagon building the days of yesteryear saturated his minds eye with possibilities. Although he began working leather in his youth it wasn’t until he explored the old methods of tannery prevalent in North America that Aaron’s love of the ancient craft truly flourished. A self-proclaiming ‘luddite’ Aaron believes that although modern Industry has truly specialised our population it has also detached many folks from the origins of their own crafts. Aaron explains that “Each piece of leather has it’s own story and I feel it is my noble duty to read from as many pages as I can to justify my craft.
