Leather wallet workshop in Nantes (44)

Activity description :

1. 4 hours
2. Up to 2 people
3. From 8 years old

Take part in a workshop and learn all about leather goods by making your own leather wallet.

Course of the workshop (4h):

• Camille welcomes you and shows you around the workshop, the tools and the leathers you'll be using during the session.
• The first step is to choose your leather from the wide range of colors and finishes available.
• Then we'll get down to the nitty-gritty of cutting the pieces using special tools (mallet, trench and punch), gluing, assembling your pieces on the canon machine, and attaching the snap fasteners.
• After a stitch test on a scrap piece, and with Camille's guidance, you'll assemble each part of your wallet together on the canon machine.

At the end of the workshop, you'll leave with your own unique purse, made entirely by your own hands, and the pride of having discovered the skills and know-how of artisanal leatherwork.
