A focused intensive workshop for those who want to go beyond a one-day experience and begin understanding the foundations of leathercraft more deeply. In a small group of up to 3 people, you will take part in the making process more fully — from pattern drawing and leather cutting to stitching, assembly, and fine finishing. Unlike the one-day experience, this workshop gives you time to work with tools and processes that cannot be fully covered in a short session. You will learn by making, repeating, and gradually understanding how leather goods are built. The intensive workshop is divided into two modules: a foundation module and a create-your-own project module.The modules are recommended to be taken in order, especially for beginners.

Small variations, marks, and imperfections may occur during the making process, and they are part of learning the craft by hand.
