Learn the fundamentals of leatherwork by making your own small leather good in this hands-on experience day in Darwen. You'll choose your project – a pouch, case, pet collar, or something similar – then work through the entire process guided by an experienced instructor. You'll understand different types of leather and how to choose the right one for what you're making, work through simple design and template making, then get hands-on with the leather itself: cutting, stitching, edging, and finishing.
This is a beginner-friendly workshop where you'll learn the tools and how to use them safely and effectively. Working with leather is tactile and rewarding – there's something satisfying about handling the material, making cuts, hand-stitching seams, and watching a functional piece come together under your hands. You'll gain real foundational skills that you can take home and continue practising with.
By the end of the day, you'll leave with a finished leather good you've made yourself – a durable, useful keepsake – plus the knowledge and confidence to start leatherworking at home if you want to continue.
