Beginning Leatherworking: Make & Paint Your Own Leather Earrings

Create a one-of-a-kind pair of leather earrings in this fun, beginner-friendly workshop! You’ll learn the basics of working with leather while designing, cutting, assembling, and painting your own wearable creation.

Choose from a variety of leather shapes and colors, then personalize your earrings with your own painted designs. Whether you prefer bold colors, simple patterns, or something completely unique, this is your chance to make a pair that reflects your style.

This workshop is taught by one of Rocky Mountain Folk School’s Instructor Development students. As part of our commitment to developing the next generation of traditional arts instructors, we offer select introductory workshops at a special introductory price while our developing instructors gain hands-on teaching experience. You’ll receive guidance throughout the workshop while helping support an emerging instructor in our program.
