Leather Dog Collar and Lead Crafting Workshop

About

Join us at Highgrove and learn about the art of leather crafting with Cotswold Hipster's Tracy's unique twist: leather dog collars! Guests will learn the basics of leather crafting with Tracy's guidance.

So many of us have important four-legged friends in our family that we've decided to dedicate a workshop to them!

Local leather worker Tracy will join us for a 4-hour session where you will make a leather dog collar & co-ordinating lead.

Prior to the day, you will choose the size & leather colour for the collar: red, olive green, or tan so Tracy can prepare it for you. The leather is combined with a felt backing, you can choose from Marl, Marine or Raspberry.

On the day you will:

Learn how to add the hardware to the collar & add the buckle using a tool called a crew
Discover how to cut, burn and cap off the end of the dog leash rope which you will stitch securely before adding the handle and the hardware (trigger/O-ring).
Learn how to do the 'whipping' with the coloured paracord threads, which you choose on the day, to compliment the set & make it truly unique
Tracy will also bring brass embossing letters so leather elements can be personalised.
