A three day leatherwork course for students who would like to develop the skills to make beautiful leather keepsake and memory boxes. The ‘Leather Boxes Course’ will help you to master ‘butt’ and ‘box’ stitching whilst creating two, cylindrical pots or keepsake boxes. Working with natural vegetable tanned leather and beautiful British wool, students will be taught how to hand craft their choice of container, including fitting structured inserts and lining the interior, for a truly luxurious finish. All projects will be fitted with a cap or lid. Are you planning a special event? Are you organising or celebrating a wedding, the arrival of a new baby, a big birthday or anniversary? Seeking club prizes? Or would you just like to get ahead in good time for Christmas? Students will have a choice of pre-made patterns to work from during the course, although understanding the measuring technique will be part of the course programme. There will also be a selection of leather, thread and interior wool colours to work with and students will be given printed ‘assembly’ instructions to work from, which can then be taken away with them. Students will be encouraged to create two cylindrical keepsake boxes, one of which will be completed at home with the aid of a personal ‘completion programme’.

However, take heart, help is at hand - we at the Little Leather Box Company have a smart solution for you: dainty pearls, smart cufflinks and luxuriously-lined classic and colourful real leather boxes which are perfect for jewellery, cufflinks, watches and treasured trinkets, as well as for playing cards and pet memorabilia. Stylish and spoiling, they will show just how much you care when you have them personalised. If so, every moment is precious and in a busy world buying presents can be a chore rather than a joy - finding just the right thing for everyone is time-consuming.
