Guided by an experienced tutor, you’ll explore the full leatherworking process: cutting, tooling, edging, tooling, dyeing, antiquing, and finishing your piece to perfection. Once your design is complete, you’ll stitch or rivet your tooled leather onto the front of the card holder, creating a functional and stylish accessory that’s uniquely yours.
