Leather Necklace Workshop

Create a unique leather necklace inspired by global traditions. Learn all the necessary steps  to create a necklace in leather using semi-precious stones, feathers and fringe as adornments.

Students will be guided through conception, design process and preliminary fashion sketch to create a truly individual piece. We will experiment with shape, color, texture, symbolism and stone properties. We will cover the basics of leatherworking and jewelry making. Students will receive a supply list, a supplier guide and learn how to set up their own workspace.
