What to expect
You'll start with an introduction to leather types and the tools you'll use. The artisan will demonstrate basic techniques—cutting, stamping, edge finishing—before guiding you through each step as you work on your own piece. Expect to measure, cut, shape the leather around a wooden form, and add personalised touches like embossing or dye work. It's hands-on but achievable for beginners; the professionals adjust pacing to your comfort level. You'll leave with a genuinely usable belt, not a souvenir.
