Leather Class

[CopeKid1776]

Hello everybody, Myself and my wife are going to begin teaching a leather class to our small community, I was just hoping to get some ideas for projects for the class that would be in the 2-3 hours range. We are hoping to teach five to six classes. Thank you all!

Without knowing what tools you have;

a simple key fob, sewn together, stamped or not stamped

I actually offer several different classes, each building on the one before.  Classes are for ages 4 and up. My first class is 1.5 hours long.  I have a box of show and tell items that include different types of leather, different tools used, varying projects I have made, then I have each one stamp a 4" round coaster.  Each student has their own slab of marble, a hammer/maul, and an assortment of stamps.  I teach them how to case a scrap piece of leather for them to practice stamping.  This is two-fold, it lets them find the design stamp they like AND how hard to hit each stamp to get the proper impression.  Once they have figured that out, they case their coaster and begin the leather crafting journey.  Due to shop space constraints, class size is limited to 10 students and their folks.  If you would like to discuss, please reach out.  It is one of my passions.
