Materials

Any type of cow leather may be used for this class. However, students are advised against using veg-tanned leather for this class due to time constraints.

Thick leather with a smooth suede side, and does not stretch, is recommended for the adjustable strap.

Students may either purchase leather at the studio or bring their own, at least 10 square feet in size. Thread and hardware will all be provided at the studio.
