Keeping it Together: Fashion a Leather Catch-all Basket

In this hands-on class, you’ll create a stylish basket using leather and other natural materials. You’ll fold leather into shape, add a hardwood rim, and finish it off with a hand-sewn sea grass top. No experience is needed—just bring your creativity and a good attitude!

This is a great class for anyone who enjoys crafting and wants to try something new.
