Leather Crafting - Viking pouch

Learn the basics of Leathercraft by making a super cool Viking Style Leather Pouch.  It's not difficult or strenuous and we've got all the tools and leather you'll need.  If you're like me, you need lots of individual pouches in your pocket or pocketbook in order to find anything !  In this workshop, you'll design and embellish a simple drawstring leather pouch to hold all sorts of things.  Using both stiff and supple leathers, you'll create this age old variation on a pouch that's cool to look at and versatile to use. You'll love this experience and you'll be so proud of your creation.

Have your GPS take you to 101 West Rodney French Blvd. in New Bedford.  Once there, please park on the end of the building AWAY from the main entrance.  You'll see an ORANGE door that says Mattress Handup...enter there and go up the stairs.  At the top of the stairs...follow small yellow signs for NBACE.  We're right around the corner behind the mural  !!
