Leather Work

What you'll do

Love the idea of creating something special out of leather? This hands-on workshop in NYC will help you learn the skills to make your very own bi-fold wallet!

You’ll begin with a single square of leather before cutting, finishing, gluing, punching, and sewing together your final piece. You’ll also have the option of custom engraving your wallet using our laser cutter.

Your teacher with Craftsman Ave. will walk you through each step so you can gain confidence with each skill you learn. You will use various hand tools to create your wallet: Exacto knife, edge beveler, chisel, sewing needles, sewing awl, mallet, and the most versatile tool we all possess, your hands!

After this workshop, you’ll have a firm grasp of the leathercraft skills that you can use to make thousands of items. You will never look at a leather good the same way again!

See additional precautions taken

It’s our business to bring people together to make things and use tools that most New Yorker’s couldn’t and wouldn’t use in their homes. This is really difficult to do via Zoom. Gathering people in our post-COVID world requires that we take our guests’ safety even more seriously by implementing every possible precaution. To ensure your safety while at a at Craftsman Ave workshop, we’ve implemented the following precautions:

Small Class Sizes – We’ve always specialized in offering hands-on workshops for small groups of people. In the past, we limited our workshops to 8 guests. For the foreseeable future, we’ll be further limiting our workshops to 4-5 people max so everyone can be safely distanced from each other.

Last-Minute Rescheduling – If a guest doesn’t feel well on the day of their workshop, they can reschedule to a later date at no cost.

Studio Cleaning – With all the wood and metal dust kicked-up in our workshops, there are some areas of our studio that will always appear a little short of “clean”. However, you can be sure that we disinfect all tools and surfaces regularly and especially before each workshop begins.

Mask-Up! – Everyone – guests and instructors – must wear a mask, at least upon entering our studio. BYOM or we’ll be happy to provide you with one. After you arrive, we'll talk about everyone's vaccination status. Masks will only be removed if everyone present is vaccinated AND comfortable with proceeding without masks - otherwise we'll remain masked throughout the workshop. We will also have plenty of gloves available.

Hand Washing/Sanitizing – You’ll find plenty of hand sanitizer dispensers throughout our space and everyone will be asked to clean their hands before each workshop.

Upgraded Ventilation – We’ve upgraded the air handling systems in our studio, effectively doubling the airflow through our space. If any icky things make it into the studio air, they’ll be quickly whisked out by our exhaust system.
