Leather Journal (half day)

Description

Make a tactile, leather-bound journal to treasure or to gift. Celebrate heritage techniques and quality materials, personalised with stamped initials or motifs if you wish. 

Join Laura from Tiska Leatherwork for this hands-on leathercraft workshop. Under her expert guidance, you will learn how to:

• Cut, shape, and finish quality vegetable-tanned semi-aniline leather
• Add personal touches such as initials, stamps, or a contrast colour fastening
• Insert your booklets to create a unique, functional keepsake

“Lovely morning with Laura doing a leather journal workshop, very relaxed, friendly and loved the journal I made. Would highly recommend.”

This class can be booked together with our Leather Card Wallet Workshop as a full day course.
