Leathercraft Tuition Workshop
The Leathery, Te Horo, Wellington Region
Today 9:00 A.M. - 3:30 P.M.
We welcome and encourage you in creating your leather masterpiece! You may bring your projects and ideas from home or alternatively just come along to make something for yourself. I have templates and can help you through the stages of making your project. Beginners are encouraged to attend and you will be rubbing shoulders with others who are at intermediate level! Included in your price is a small amount of leather (up to and including approximately 1 square foot) and other materials such as rivets, rings, adhesive, thread etc. You can purchase extra materials if needed. I offer classes in my large fully equipped workshop here in Te Horo for $220 for a full day (Minimum of 4 participants, maximum of 6.) Gather together your friends and come along. Just phone/text/message/email me to arrange on 021 894 431 or [email protected] and I can secure your place or provide you with more information. Please bring your own lunch. I will supply coffee, tea and refreshments. You will get to use hand tools, leather sewing machines, dyes, press, splitters and heat stamps. My studio is recently renovated, painted and furnished and possesses a creative ambience with a clean and tidy workspace for students. You will have your own workstation as well as your own set of basic tools. Other tools and equipment will be shared. The day runs from 9.00am – 3.30pm. For more details please phone/text/email me. You will need to pay the $220 fee to secure your place. How to book: 1. Email/message me with your intention to participate. I will pencil you in. 2. You will then receive full information about the day and location. Included will be an instruction on how to pay. 3. Once paid, your spot is secured. Remember the classes are kept to a limit of 5-6 people. We do this so that you can gain full attention and productivity from your day at The Leathery. I LOOK FORWARD TO SPENDING THE DAY WITH YOU IN A LEATHER WORKSHOP!
