Everything You Need to Know About Our Classes
Class Details
🧵 1–2 hour sessions, mostly on Saturday mornings
🧰 Tools & materials included (unless otherwise noted)
✨ Beginner-friendly options available
📍 Held in downtown Hamilton
💲 Most classes are around $90–$100 per person (pricing varies by class)
👥 Small class sizes for plenty of hands-on instruction
Whether you’re completely new to leatherwork or looking to build on existing skills, our classes are designed to give you a hands-on, practical experience in a small, supportive setting.
All of our classes are taught right here in our downtown Hamilton shop, where you’ll work with the same tools, materials, and techniques we use every day. We keep our classes intentionally small so you get plenty of guidance and individual attention throughout.
Most classes run 1–2 hours, and unless otherwise noted, all tools and materials are included. Many of our offerings are beginner-friendly, making them a great starting point if you’ve never worked with leather before.
How to Register
When registration is open, available classes will be listed right here on this page.
Simply choose the class you’d like to take, select the date and time that works for you, and add it to your cart. Your spot is confirmed once checkout is complete.
Classes are kept small and some dates can fill quickly, so we recommend registering early if there’s a particular class or date you have your eye on.
Before registering, please take a moment to review our Class Policies, including information about cancellations, rescheduling, and other important class details.
What You Can Expect
Our classes are focused on real, usable skills—not just theory. In many cases, you’ll leave with a finished piece you can be proud of. In others, the focus is on building foundational techniques you can carry into future projects.
Here’s a look at some of the classes we regularly offer. Availability varies from one session to the next.
Beginner Hand Stitching
A great place to start. Learn the fundamentals of saddle stitching and leave with a finished card wallet.
Advanced Hand Stitching
Build on your skills with more complex construction techniques. You’ll leave well on your way to completing a dice cup, along with the knowledge to finish it confidently.
Belt Making
Cut, size, and assemble your own belt from quality leather. You’ll leave with a finished, custom-fit piece.
Leather Marbling
A creative, hands-on experience where you’ll design your own marbled leather and leave with a finished Traveller Journal cover and inserts.
Open Instruction Sessions (One-on-One)
In addition to our scheduled classes, we offer one-on-one Open Instruction sessions for those looking for more personalized guidance.
These sessions are ideal if you have a specific project in mind or want help learning a particular skill. Together, we’ll focus on the techniques and steps needed to move your project forward—whether that’s patterning, dyeing and finishing, carving and tooling, hardware use, tool sharpening, construction, or stitching.
Because Open Instruction sessions are typically one hour, most projects won’t be completed during a single session. Instead, the goal is to give you the knowledge, confidence, and direction to continue working on your own.
If you’ve been wanting to try leatherwork, this is a great place to start—or to keep building your skills in a hands-on, approachable way.
