I will show the participants the use of the tools used for Leathercraft, many of which haven't changed since medieval times.This experience is for those who wish to discover an authentic Spanish Leathercraft Workshop and learn how to make their own Leather items. Each participant will have the opportunity to use real Spanish Cowhide to create a Leather item with their own hands. In the workshop the participants can choose between a bag (with or without a strap), an original glasses case, a wallet, a passport booklet or a purse . There is also the option of making a piece different from these which will be designed in the act...maybe something one always wanted to make....a handbag, a mobile phone case, a belt pouch ....if this is the case the teacher should be informed beforehand. I will also introduce them to the variety of different kinds of leather that exist. For those who don't speak Spanish I speak perfect English as I am originally from Ireland. There will not be many of us in the workshop so we have the chance to get to know each other without hurry.
