Leather Bag Workshop

Leather Bag Workshop

Learn how to make a simple and rustic leather haversack or duffle bag during this one day workshop. These hardy kit carriers are perfect for holding all your essential items and slinging over a shoulder for a walk or day out in the woods. 

Tough and flexible grain on leather is provided (please state a colour preference) as well as patterns and any tools you’ll need to get the job done. Leather thonging is used for stitching. Quickly done and extremely effective it’ll give your bag a touch of primitive chic.

If you’ve made buckskin during a previous workshop but haven’t yet decided what to make from it, bring it along! Free counselling and encouragement is available for anyone too nervous to cut into their precious first tanned hide.

In 2022, this one day workshop has been twinned with the 'Wooden Bucksaw Workshop' giving you the option of booking both together as a package. The 'Kuksa Carving Workshop' follows on immediately afterwards to allow you to stay on for FOUR solid days of crafting in the woods!

The working day will begin at 9am and we'll down tools at 5pm (although please be prepared to stay on a little longer if needed)

All tools, materials and hot drinks are provided however, please bring your own lunch and snacks.

If combining this workshop with the Wooden Bucksaw Workshop and maybe even the Kuksa Workshop, then you may camp overnight in the woods for the duration. Alternatively, local accommodation can be found here

This workshop can also be booked as private training for groups of two or more people. Please get in touch to choose your own date
