What you'll do

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 leather crafting 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 and practical workshop suitable for beginners, or anyone in need of a fancy new belt!
