Workshop Description: Silver Creek Leather has something new in store for the youth class this year. Young students will be introduced to the basics of leather craft, while building a project from the Realeather product line. Students are guaranteed to go home with finished projects and smiles. Open to youth ages 7-16. The workshop will also include a tooling demonstration for kids by author and legendary leatherworker, Tony Laier.
Materials to bring: None required; all tools and materials will be provided at no charge.
Workshop Instructor: Justin Girsh completed a tour in Iraq before returning to Texas in the early 2000’s. Curiosity drove him to cross the threshold of Maker’s Leather Supply and he felt he had finally “come home”. He and the owner, Aaron Heizer, also a veteran, established a friendship, and Justin found himself helping out around the shop on his days off. He started diving into projects and eventually, Aaron invited him to come to the Prescott show in 2020, to help him with the booth and workshops. What he really likes about leather and leather craft is putting leather in peoples’ hands who have never worked with it and introducing them to the craft.
Workshop Sponsors: Silver Creek Leather Co.
