INTERMEDIATE

This intense 5-day class is for individuals who are comfortable working with leather and want to advance their expertise. This is a completely 'hands on' course with plenty support and encouragement as you construct your fully lined leather bag working with one of our pre-cut patterns. The focus for this course is not just to perfect your saddle/hand stitching technique, finishing and becoming adept at using complex hand tools for assembly processes, participants will also learn how/when to alternate between hand stitching and the industrial machine. Participants will start with a mock-up/prototype to get a proper feel before the project begins proper. 
This course will also cover most or all of the following topics: 
  • Briefly touch on some topics addressed in stage one 
  • Fully lined turned Bag construction 
  • Installing rivets or Magnetic Snaps or snap buttons 
  • Surface sewn handle  
  • Leather padding/reinforcement  
  • Installing lining Zippers  
  • Edge finishing 
  • Introduction to hand skiving using a paring or skiving knife 

While pattern making is a vital part of leatherwork, in this Advanced course, we will have you work with pre-made patterns so you can focus your time on construction techniques.
