Saturday April 26, 2-5pm at Tooth + Nail Studio 2018 S 1st Street Suite 308, Milwaukee, WI.
In this introduction to leather construction, we will make a wallet, collar, clutch or cardholder using one of 3 stitch patterns. Learn about leather tannage and how to select a hide, how to set rivets and your choice of hardware. Kink friendly, but not focused. All materials and tools are provided. *This workshop will require the use of knives and hand tools. One planned break - bring a snack/bev for yourself.

Shannon Lee Molter is an artist, freelance curator, lecturer with a focus on textile culture and radical history, an adjunct instructor at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in Fashion & Apparel Design, and full time art teacher.
