We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a 2 day Paul Dore Leather basics workshop on the 4th and 5th of July. This course is ideal for anyone that is interested in working with leather and all materials and tools are provided. The workshop is limited to six people to ensure that Paul can give the participants a lot of personal time.
The details are as follows:
This two-day course is intended to give you a basic understanding of leather and the tools and techniques you need to create your own items from it.
You will learn..
• What leather is and how it is produced.
• The different types and applications of leather.
• How to make patterns
• Marking out, cutting and efficient use of the hide
• Using edging tools and edge finishing
• Creating stitch holes
• The different types of thread and how to sew leather
• All about dyes, surface finishes and polishes
• Incorporating buckles and studs etc into your projects
This course is intended to show you the techniques so you can make your own items rather than being a course where you complete a project to take away. As such it is packed full of useful information.
All tools and materials will be provided for the duration of the workshop and a comprehensive handout will be given to each participant upon completion
