Workshops

Learn the Saddle Stitch in Las Vegas

Step off the Strip for a few hours and build something with your hands that will outlive the trip. Our studio workshops are open to complete beginners. You leave with a piece you made yourself, not a souvenir someone else made for you.

What You Learn

  • The saddle stitch. The strongest hand-stitch there is, and the one machines cannot replicate.
  • Leather selection. Why vegetable-tanned full-grain behaves differently from everything else.
  • Traditional tools. Pricking irons, awls, edge bevelers and burnishers, used the way they have been for centuries.
  • Finishing. Edge work and burnishing, the step that separates handmade from homemade.

Good to Know

  • Sessions run about 3 hours. Arrive 10 minutes early.
  • Ages 14 and up. Under 16 needs an adult in the room.
  • Wear clothes you do not mind marking. Leather dye does not come out.
  • Groups larger than 8 are handled as private sessions.
