"  As well as the usual making guidence of how to cut/finish the leather and attachment of various metalware and fastenings the session will also cover basic design and pattern cutting. All belts will be made to measure from a choice of high quality leather hide with a range of chunky metal fastenings and fittings...Your creation will even be ready for you to take home at the end of the day!  The workshop, set in a friendly, informal enviroment is suitable for all levels of experience, there will be a choice of three belt designs for those that prefer instruction, although there will also be plenty of opportunity to add your own creative flair!
