Introduction to Leatherwork

Learn how to dye, finish and hand stitch leather using the traditional two needle saddle stitch to make a coin purse and a belt on this Introduction to Leatherwork. Ruth will guide the group through the techniques needed to produce professionally finished leather goods as well as repair and restore leather items.

We will also discuss the role of livestock in nature friendly farming and how by working with leather from pasture based farms in the UK we can support farms who are positively contributing to the environment and capturing carbon in their systems.
