Recent reviews of Leather Wallet Workshop

  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Sep 2026: The leather wallet workshop was great!! Shilo: the instructor/host is friendly and knowledgeable about leathercraft. The workshop consists of choosing the wallet desired (then given the pattern), then leather(s) (up to 3 colors), then laying out pattern, cutting, burnishing, saddle stitching then final burnish. The most enjoyable part of the class was learning and performing saddle stitching. I recommend the wallet (other offerings) from Craftsman Ave in Industry City.

We transform "regular folks" into welders, woodworkers, jewelry makers, leather crafters, knife forgers, and stained glass artisans in just one workshop. Our hands-on workshops are taught by local makers, artists & designers in Brooklyn.
Locally owned and operated since 2015, Craftsman Ave is a destination to connect people who want to learn how to do new things with a skilled and likable craftsman who can show them how to do those things in a straight forward, fun, and non-condescending manner. You can make cool stuff while supporting the makers and artists of NYC who we hire to lead our workshops.
