Workshop Description: A handful of leather, a few clever knots—and suddenly you’re making jewelry. In this class, Serge will share a recent breakthrough of his: creating earrings, bracelets, and pendants using simple leather knotting techniques. These quick projects are perfect to slip in between larger pieces when you want to make something small but satisfying. Rather than just copying a few designs, you’ll learn the basic logic behind decorative knots inspired by Celtic interlace and Chinese and Japanese knotting traditions. Once understood, they open the door to endless variations. These techniques are ideal for making small gifts or adding affordable items to your range. The class includes all the materials you’ll need: leather lace, a generous selection of jewelry findings, and the essential tools. You’ll leave not only with finished pieces, but with everything you need to keep tying knots as soon as you get home.
Materials to bring: All needed material is provided and included in the price of registration.
Workshop Instructor: The Al Stohlman Award Laureate 2017, Serge Volken, a.k.a. Bigfoot, has dedicated his entire adult life to leather, be it as craftsman, instructor at vocational schools and design schools, or as a researcher in leather archaeology and explorer of techniques and applications of the craft. The quality of his teachings is based on a thoroughly researched basis and structured to be easy understandable. As the first Stohlman Award recipient from the European continent, Serge is an explorer in leather crafts, its history and archaeology, and has been actively working on the most diverse aspects in connection with leather since 1983. Teaching teenagers at a professional school for 8 years, he has developed teaching methods that turn learning into a fun adventure. He is fluent in several languages: German, French, English, Italian, some Spanish and just enough Dutch to save his life. He prefers to explore innovative designs and techniques out of the beaten tracks. His idea of a class is to make a project while also handing you some keys to various techniques for any other subject one would like to create.
