Join us in designing and crafting your very-own artisanal leather belt with Kelian Luis, a visiting teacher from Estonia. In this 4-5-hour class, you will gain knowledge of belt leather qualities, adhesives, edge painting, machine & hand-stitching techniques, metal hardware application, and other techniques which will ultimately increase your appreciation for the craft.

1-2 sqft of veg tan belting leather (6-8oz), hardware, and tools included in the class.

You will use tools such as: Strap cutters, oblong tools, center bar buckles, heatable edge paints, exacto/olfa blades, erasable pens, soldering iron, sand paper, edge painting roller pens and tubs.

You will learn where to purchase some tools and get to try out some of the teacher’s in class!
