During this workshop, participants will get the chance to dive into the fascinating world of stamping and embossing techniques on a leather cuff. You'll learn all the tips and tricks to create beautiful designs on your cuff, before moving on to creating your very own belt. And don't worry, you won't just be stopping there! Both your cuff and belt will be given a dyed finish, turning them into unique pieces of art.
