Workshop Description: Making fine leather goods with strap leather requires a few additional steps. In this workshop, you’ll understand how to elevate your strap goods by making a padded dog collar. First, you’ll learn how to accurately measure for the correct length of collar. Then, you’ll make the pad from foam and cover it with leather using Steffen’s methods. Edge finishing for a smooth and polished look comes next. The buckle, loop, and D-ring will be added and the collar will be hand-sewn using the saddlestitch.
Materials to bring: Pencil, notebook, needles for saddle stitching, stitching awls, head knife, edge bevelers, cutting board, stitching pony, maul, tape measure, scissors, lamp, and wing dividers.
Workshop Instructor: Steffen Würtz completed his saddle maker’s education in 2001. Since that time, he has operated his own saddle shop in southern Germany. In addition to building western saddles and making tack, Steffen is no stranger to many types of saddle repairs, which has helped to further develop his skills as a leather worker and saddle maker.
Workshop Sponsors: Hermann Oak Leather Co., Renia GmbH, and Weaver Leather
