Leave with a coaster or a pot holder crafted by you out of leather. Basic equipment and materials will be provided as part of your payment - you provide the interest, and the addiction can start from there. This will require some finger strength and dexterity to manipulate the swivel knife, to cut the design into the leather before the tooling begins. Materials for this class are included.
