Leather Belt Making Workshop

Craft your own lasting leather belt at a hands-on Seattle workshop inside Pike Place Market!



2 hours Location Downtown Class size 1 to 2 (public classes), 4 to 20   $200

Craft something that will outlast every fast-fashion purchase you have ever made -- a full-grain, hand-dyed leather belt, built by your own two hands, in the heart of Pike Place Market!
At Leolo's Pike Place Market Atelier, this leatherwork class walks you through every step of the belt-making process, so you never have to wonder how to make a belt ever again. You will choose your leather dye color, then stamp, engrave, or tool the leather with your own design. From there, you will size the belt to fit you perfectly, select solid brass or silver hardware, and work with real tools -- mallets, rivets, skivers, punches, edge bevels, and burnishers -- to bring the whole thing together. Your expert host is warm, encouraging, and genuinely fun, so whether this is your first time touching leather or you just love trying new Seattle activities, you will feel supported at every turn. This is one of those date ideas or bachelorette party ideas that actually results in something you will wear for decades.
The atelier is welcoming to all skill levels, and children under 18 are welcome with an accompanying adult. If you have been scrolling for things to do in Seattle that go beyond the usual tourist trail, this is your answer -- a hands-on, meaningful experience that leaves you with a beautiful, lasting piece of craft and a great new skill in your back pocket!

Leolo Handmade Shoes is a Seattle-based brand built at the beautiful crossroads of artistry, sustainability, and human connection. Founded by Leanne Corcoran -- a painter-turned-shoemaker with an MFA and a lifelong love of design -- Leolo brings a deeply personal touch to every pair of shoes it creates. Leanne's journey to shoemaking wasn't a straight line, but rather a joyful, soul-led leap toward something she'd always dreamed of, and that passion shows in every stitch.
Each pair of Leolo shoes is the product of a 220+ step bespoke process, rooted in an 18th-century tradition that takes roughly 40 hours of hands-on craftsmanship to complete. It's truly a family affair too -- Leanne's mom, Maureen, still lends a hand in the studio. Leolo believes that what you wear should mean something, and they're on a mission to prove that beautiful, handmade things and a more sustainable world can go hand in hand!
