Leather goods have been used by humans as far back as 5,000 BCE when Egyptians crafted sandals, clothes, gloves, buckets, bottles, and burial shrouds. In this dynamic workshop, you’ll use a variety of tools and materials and join the long history of leather craftspeople by creating your very leather tote bag.
You will select a leather color that fits your unique style and then cut, punch, hammer, twist, and sew your way to a piece that will turn heads everywhere you go. You'll become familiar with tools such as mallets, anvils, rivets, and our state-of-the-art Sailrite Sewing Machine.
Nothing can top the versatility of a leather tote bag, so if you’re at brunch or running errands around town when an admirer asks, "Where'd you get that bag?" you can proudly say "I made it!"
You and a friend will make one bag together.
