Brooklyn Shoe Space

Leather classes

Leather classes in Brooklyn

Make a leather card holder, belt, watch strap or tote bag in one sitting at our East Williamsburg studio. No experience needed, every material is included, and you leave with something you made.

Leather workshops

What to expect

Experience
None needed. Each workshop starts from the basics: cutting, stitching and finishing the edges.
What’s included
Leather, hardware, thread and every tool you use. You take home what you make.
How long
The card holder and belt classes run 3 hours. The watch strap is a one-day workshop, and the tote bag takes a little longer.
Private and groups
Book any of these as a private class for one or two, or as a team building workshop for up to 8.

From our students

In their words

“At the shoe space you can walk in with little knowledge about making shoes but feel supported enough to learn and actually walk out in your own design.”

Liza Mendel

“The space and the community was beyond welcoming. Even though it's a 'shoe' space, I have been able to start up my handbag line out of there.”

Lorna Nixon

“Moving from England, Brooklyn Shoe Space was my home away from home. The community, friendship and of course the shoemaking facilities.”
