About this event

**Description:** In this class, students will learn the basics of cutting and hand-sewing leather in addition to several finishing techniques. Skills learned include:

* Cutting natural leather from a choice of a dozen patterns

* Hand stitching

* Using punches, snaps, and stamps

* Edge burnishing

* Using a hand/foot press

* Dyeing and/or painting leather

Each participant will make their own stitched leather key fob\*\* or RFID/Air Tag holder to take home!

**\*\*Note:** The traditional definition of key fob is something that designates one key from another. However, this project can also be stitched around RFID door-key fobs or Air

Tags, creating a semi-permanent or removable holder. Our patterns range in sizes and shapes. Most standard RFID door-key fobs will fit and function inside the leather holders, but auto key fobs will not.

**Prerequisites:** No experience required, all materials provided

**Age requirement**: 18+, adults only

**Date & Time:** Sunday, October 25th from 6:00PM
