Create a custom leather belt from start to finish in this hands-on 2.5-hour workshop! You’ll learn the basics of leather tooling and construction as you craft a belt that fits your style and size. The design and carving are entirely up to you—whether it’s your initials, a western motif, or a freeform pattern, this is your chance to make something uniquely yours. Walk away with a belt that’s not only functional but a piece of wearable art.
This class is perfect for beginners and experienced leatherworkers alike, as Isaac will guide you through every step, from tooling techniques to the final assembly. All materials needed to complete your belt are included in the course.
Don’t miss this opportunity to make something special with your own hands!
Thanks to the Traditional Folk Art Grant from Colorado Creative Industries—and with the help of the Grand Lake Creative District in securing this funding—we’re able to offer our leather classes at a lower cost. The grant covered the purchase of the tools we’ll be using, making these workshops more affordable for everyone.
If you still need help covering the cost, we also offer scholarships for anyone in need. Learn more here: https://rockymountainfolkschool.org/scholarships/
