• Gluing
• Stitching
• Finishing
• And tips and tricks!

In the end, you will leave this class with a wealth of knowledge and a finished wallet (like the one you see in the picture) you can use every day! The class is allocated for three hours but it will most likely take closer to two hours. This class will be taught by Darsh Nand. Darsh got into leatherworking when he needed a unique gift for his 17 (yes, 17!) groomsmen. He came across an Etsy store listing selling personalized wallets and decided he wanted to make them himself. Luckily, Nova Labs was offering a leather pouch making class around this time so Darsh took the class to see if he could actually make the wallets himself. Almost two years later, Darsh has been making wallets, watch bands, and other goods through his small business called DAK Leather. It is a side gig outside of his day-to-day job as a Product Designer and he loves it. He is definitely still learning a lot about leatherworking himself!
