Leather Wallets Class

Learn basic leatherworking skills while you have fun creating and customizing your own leather wallet!

In this hands-on class you’ll work with vegetable tanned leather and explore the application of leather paints and dyes for a one of a kind look. 

The 4" wallet will start to take shape as you begin to stitch with waxed threads and perform other finishing techniques to create a piece that will not only last, but age beautifully over time. 

No previous experience required and all tools and supplies will be provided.

Note: If a date is sold out, join the waitlist to be contacted when a spot opens up. 

teaching artist:

Sophia Ackelbein is originally from the Bay Area and as the daughter of an abstract painter she's been creating art since she was a little girl. Sophia is the owner of Malevolent Leather, a custom leather shop run out of her basement in Portland.  With a love for any and all mediums, she stumbled into leather craft as a way to bring many of them together. Using her skills of printmaking, painting, sewing, and illustrating, she found a burning passion to create exciting and unique items out of leather. When not creating, you can find her in a swimming hole with her two dogs soaking up nature.
