About this class
If you're going to wear a belt every day, it might as well be one that fits properly and lasts for years.
In this small-group workshop at my studio in Berlin, you'll design and craft your own leather belt using high-quality vegetable-tanned leather and solid brass hardware.
The focus is on doing things properly — from material selection to clean finishing — so you leave with an object you'll actually use.
