Leather carving (a.k.a. leather tooling, leather stamping) is the art of imprinting designs into leather using metal stamps and a mallet. If you've marveled at the designs on wallets, handbags, saddles, belts, etc and thought "I'd like to do that!" Now's your chance to give it a try without investing in all the tools! And enjoy some good LOCAL beer to boot! Ticket price includes 1 beer and all materials

Q: Can I bring my own design?
A: Yes if you would like but keep some guidelines in mind: provided leather pieces will be 6" x 6". Simple black-and-white line art (ex: coloring books) makes the best template to trace. See examples in images.
Q: Is this event kid-friendly?
A: The event is being hosted at a brewery, and thus alcohol will be served. The activity does use some sharp blades and requires manual dexterity. Please use your own discretion.
