In this introductory leatherworking class with Brandon Groves, students will learn the essential skills and techniques needed to craft their own set of leather bracers. Using vegetable-tanned leather, students will be guided step-by-step through the entire process—from cutting and shaping leather to tooling, dyeing, sealing, and setting hardware like rivets and eyelets. By the end of the session, each student will have a personalized, wearable piece of leather armor and a solid understanding of the fundamentals of leather-smithing.
