Workshop Description

Have you ever wanted to make an heirloom quality leather piece that acts as a functional piece of art? If so, look no further than this class! Students will spend a week building, from scratch, a handmade leather duffel bag. Grady will take students through a wide array of skills, from adjusting patterns, mounting hardware, LOTS of sewing, and even putting in a zipper! By the end of the week, each student should leave with a handmade carry-on size duffel bag that will serve them for many years to come!
