Workshop leatherwork basics & small bag 14/05
Craftworkshops leatherwork at De Ceuvel
In these workshops, you will re-learn the old craft of leather working with simple tools. You work by hand, making your own piece step by step – basic stitches, a bag, a shoe. This is how you get to know the material and bring back respect for the hide and thus for the animal that once wore it. And from it, you make something beautiful that can last your lifetime.

> Friday 28 March

In this one-day workshop, I will start showing you different types of leather, touch them, feel them. I will also take you through the making of different handmade leatherwork.
Then you get to do it yourself. First with a sample patch to try out various test stitches and techniques. In the afternoon, you will work on a small pouch or belt bag. There are several models to choose from and I can help you make any adaptations to your own idea.
Depending on your speed & chosen version, you will either take home a self-made pouch/ belt bag or get the materials & knowledge to finish it at home.
In addition to the bag and sample stitches, you will receive the bag pattern, and leather needles for future projects.
The fee includes all materials. We work with leftover leather from the clothing and furniture industries; I provide a diverse stock for you to choose from. If you want, you can buy some leather after the course for new projects at home.
