Workshop Description: Blocking In and Building Skirts – Covering a Seat
This is a unique opportunity to learn and spend time in Wayne Hape’s saddle shop. Wayne was taught saddle making from his father, accomplished saddle maker, Chester Hape. Wayne will cover blocking and building skirts, and fitting a seat.
Materials to bring: Note taking materials. Cameras are welcome.
Workshop Instructor: Wayne Hape will use what he’s learned from years of saddle making with father, Chester Hape, and on his own in his shop to teach you how to prepare thread and materials for precise hand sewing. Using a hand awl and needles you’ll master efficiency and perfection for both flat work and box stitching. This workshop will focus on mastering techniques rather than finishing a project.
