Workshop Facilitation
Workshops can be help in our East Vancouver studio, or in a space provided by you! We have portable sewing machines, spare tools and lots of experience teaching large and small groups. In the past, we have offered leather DIY classes on a variety of items. These include but are not limited to:
- Dopp Kits
- Belts
- Backpacks/Fanny Packs
- Simple Sandals
- Keychains/Belt Clips/Key Clips
Additionally, we have taught classes on the “theory of leather”, such as leathercare, how to identify faux leathers, how to turn your home-tanned leathers into professional items, etc.
Wanting a fun Staff Party event? Send us a message. We have a wide range of offerings that can be hosted in our studio or at your Workplace or Studio.
1-on-1 Mentorship
We offer 1-1 mentorship in custom leatherworking, accepting students on the basis of their experience and the project you’d like to complete. For example, we’ve helped students create their first pair of sandals, improve their hand-stitching, or help pattern out a harness. Mentorship is charged at our shop rate of $120 an hour and requires a safety waiver to be signed. We can offer virtual Zoom mentorship, however, hands-on learning is best done in person.
If interested, please email us your project idea and experience level!
