Description

If you are looking for an introduction to leatherwork, and want to make your dog to look their best at the same time, this workshop is for you. Build your fluffy friend a long lasting and comfortable harness that suits them perfectly. I will guide you through the process from the design to then cut, punch, rivet, sew, and burnish the whole by hand. You get to choose your leather from our varied colour palette, pick your favourites buckles/hardware from our selection (or bring your own), and you can even monogram it with your pet’s initials or name if you wish to. Please come prepared will all necessary measurements, bring your old harness or bring your 4-legged friend along to model for you directly during the process. Let us know beforehand if there’s a specific colour, width, or buckle you have in mind. If you have an old one you’d like to reuse, feel free to bring it or I’ll be happy to show you where to look for a good quality buckles online before the workshop takes place. Workshop lasts 5 hours. About the materials: I only work with Italian vegetable tanned leather & solid brass, both premium quality materials and one the most eco-friendly and ethically responsible options in the market. What is vegetable tanned leather and why is it sustainable?: Vegetable tanned leather is made with an ancient tanning technique that uses from vegetable materials such as bark, wood, leaves and fruit, which don’t pollute the environment or sicken those who are exposed to it, as opposed to Chrome-based tanning, which is cheaper and faster to produce, and one of the top 5 of world’s worst toxic pollution problems. I will teach you the basics about leather, the different types of tanning, how to tell them apart, and how to take care of your leather goods to make them last longer.
