Make Your Own Leather Apron

About this event

Calling Barbers, Baristas, Florists, Woodworkers, Chefs, Blacksmiths, and Creatives of All Kinds… Get ready to roll up your sleeves and craft your own butter-soft, tough-as-nails leather apron in this unique one-day workshop.  Whether you swing a hammer, arrange blooms or use blades in your craft - this apron is built to protect, endure, and go wherever your craft takes you. Led by expert leatherworker and trained bootmaker Catherine Edwards - whose experience includes a prestigious residency at the Royal Armouries—you’ll work with premium full-grain pigskin suede, solid brass fittings, and eco-tanned cowhides to create a one-of-a-kind piece that’s as durable as it is comfortable. This friendly, small-group workshop welcomes everyone from total beginners to improvers. You’ll learn foundational leather-working techniques including design, cutting, strap making, and hand stitching, with plenty of individual guidance throughout. By the end of the day, you’ll walk away with a handcrafted, professional-grade apron designed by you - from fit to finish.
