Who Leads the Workshop? Let Me Introduce Myself.
My name is Mert, and I’m an architect. As a designer, I’ll be guiding and instructing you through the workshop. There aren’t many individuals or companies actively working in handmade leather products who also have a formal background in design. I’ve been creating handmade leather goods since 2015, and I’ve been hosting workshops to share my experience since 2018. For a more detailed story, check out this post: How Strawderi Was Founded.
1. What Is Included in the Handmade Leather Workshop?
We start by teaching how to cut leather, introducing the tools used for cutting, how to handle them, and how to make accurate cuts. Then, we move on to preparing for stitching, covering essentials like how to measure on leather and get ready for stitching. During the workshop, you’ll try these techniques yourself as we go along. To help you grasp these techniques better, we’ll do a small practice stitching project. Finally, we’ll make a single-pocket snap cardholder. At the end, we discuss where you can source materials, what you’ll need, and what you can do without. Then, the workshop wraps up.
The cardholder you’ll make is based on this model or this model.
2. How Long Does the Workshop Last? How Many People Can Attend?
The workshop lasts about 4 hours. I usually hold sessions on Saturdays, but there are also options for Sundays and weekdays. You can check available dates by filling out the form. If you’re part of a team and have a specific date in mind, feel free to message me on WhatsApp, and we’ll arrange it if possible. My WhatsApp number is +90 545 429 86 99.
