Workshop Description: In this half day class you will create 3 timeless genuine leather bracelets that have a rugged yet simple elegance. We will use round leather cord, bolo leather cording, wooden beads, and metal elements in creating the 3 distinct looks. The workshop will include learning a few simple leather weaving and other techniques that, with a slight change to an element or color, will create an endless array of design possibilities for your custom bracelets. Annie will show you all the steps, from how to start by sizing the bracelets to fit anyone all the way to finishing off with the proper technique of attaching the clasp. These elegant bracelets are a fun, simple, and endlessly customizable project to make for selling, give as gifts, or to wear yourself!

Materials to bring: Pencil and paper, scissors, and a small pliers.
