Holster Class with Chris "Slickbald" Andre On the first day, the class will focus on the tools used, as well as the design basics and basics of holster making. The aim of the workshop is that Holsters can be made independently after the course. The type of holster is not the point in the course. Attendees will craft a western-style holster shaped like a Single Action Army revolver. The focus is on the different techniques to understand the meaning of the seam, the liner and the fit of the weapon. On the second day the students will do a second holster to repeat the lessons of the first day. The second holster is then hallmarked with your favorite geometric stamps and marginal stamps.
