Hand Stitched Leather Gloves
Course Description
In this two day course, students will learn every step involved in the art of making a pair of custom fitted, hand-stitched leather gloves. The hand stitched method is practiced by only a few glove manufacturers worldwide. Students will start by choosing their leather skin, stretching and cutting it into sections. Each component of the gloves will be cut out by hand, and tailored to fit, after which the gloves will be hand stitched using a sharp glover's needle and thread. Finally, each glove will be cuffed, lined and finished, ready for wear.
This course is taught by Kaspar Skinner, a leather worker from Ireland. His background is in the design, manufacture and teaching of leather goods.
Class runs from 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday with a 1h lunch. All materials, safety equipment, coffee and tea will be provided. Lunch is available in town / an indoor lunch area with a microwave and fridge is provided on site if you bring your own food. Please wear closed-toe shoes and long pants.
