Workshop Description: In this workshop, led by the talented Isaac Romero from Spain, you will learn how to combine braiding techniques with stone inlay to create a stunning belt buckle. Throughout the course, you will explore how to braid around a cabochon using different lacing styles and finishes. You will also have the option to complete the final lacing, following the full braiding process taught in the course, using kangaroo lace from Y-Knot lace. Alternatively, you can choose saddle stitching, which not only saves time, but also offers a different aesthetic finish, as shown in one of the examples provided. This workshop is perfect for both beginners and those looking to expand their skills in leatherworking and decorative techniques. Don’t miss it!
Materials to bring: Lacing needles, lacing fid or round awl, utility knife, small cutting board, and bone folder. Alternatively, those who choose to do the saddle stitch will need to bring a stitching clamp and pricking irons size 3.85mm (7 SPI) and needles.
Workshop Instructor: Isaac started with leather as a hobbyist around 1994. He studied at the Arts and Crafts Leather School in Cordoba (Spain) and Loewe´s Leather Design, receiving a Master’s Degree. He has been a full-time leather worker since 2003. Since 2018, he’s been sharing his knowledge, offering classes in different countries. In 2020, he started his business, Leather Artisan Lab, selling carefully selected premium leather tools.
