Make your very own leather belt in Brisbane!



3 hours Class size 2 to 4 guests    

  $100 (Afterpay available)

Looking for unique things to do in Brisbane? Join Emma at the 18 Square Shed in this fun and practical leather belt-making workshop!
In this class, you will learn how to craft a leather belt. No prior experience is necessary, so don't worry if you've never worked with leather before! This class is kept small so everyone gets plenty of time and attention, which means it's perfect for beginners.
Throughout the workshop, your teacher, Emma, will guide you step-by-step on how to create your own leather belt. You'll learn essential leatherworking techniques, such as cutting, punching holes and finishing.
Choose to make either a black, brown or natural coloured belt, with gold or silver coloured hardware. Maximum belt length is 140cm. If you have an old belt that fits bring it along as it will help in measuring. If you are making the belt for someone else please measure their hips or waist where they would normally wear a belt.
By the end of the class, you'll walk away with a beautiful handmade leather belt that you can proudly use or give as a gift to your loved ones.

  • 5/5 from Karen van Huffel, attended Aug 2025: My daughter and I attended Emma's belt making class over the weekend, and it was such a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We loved working with our hands to create our own custom belts, and Emma made the process both fun and easy to follow. She was passionate, knowledgeable, and so generous in sharing her skills. Definitely worth it—we left with not only beautiful belts but also a great memory together.

  • 5/5 from Eden Johnston, attended Feb 2025: We had a fantastic time, the teacher Emma was so lovey and we did not feel rushed. I took my 91 year old grandfather who was able to make the belt with no issues. He was very excited to tell the whole retirement village about his latest creation. This is the perfect class for all ages.

Hi, I am Emma, a leatherworker with many years of experience of crafting. I was taught by my beautiful mother at an early age how to sew and knit, the passion for handcrafts she sparked in me has continued to this day.
Leather is such an interesting material to work with, possibilities are almost endless as to what you can create, and I am always finding new avenues to explore.
I love teaching people how to create their very own leather items. I get such enjoyment seeing someone learn a new skill, and walk away from my workshops with not only a completed product but also with the confidence and knowledge to explore this craft on their own.
