Get into the Thanksgiving spirit with a fun, hands-on introduction to leatherworking! In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn how to turn a simple piece of leather into a personalized keychain. Choose from a variety of autumn-inspired designs, including pumpkins, turkeys, fall leaves, acorns, and cornucopias. We'll cover the fundamentals of leatherworking, including safe knife handling and cutting techniques, tracing patterns, decorative stamping, dyeing, edge finishing, and installing keychain hardware. No previous leatherworking experience is required!

During this two-hour workshop, you'll have the opportunity to create up to two handmade leather keychains to keep for yourself or give as gifts. Whether you're looking to try something new, learn a few useful leatherworking skills, or just enjoy making something with your own hands, this workshop is a great place to start. All tools and materials are provided—just bring your creativity and be ready to have some fun!
