Bespoke Personalised A5 Journal Cover (1)

This is a six hour class creating a personalised, tooled leather journal cover lined with a soft pre-coloured lining (your choice ofcolours), made for a fully removable A5 journal, diary, or notebook with a magnetic closure. Venue changes from class to class. You will design, and tool your design to create your outer, before dyeing and finishing it to your satisfaction; then inserting your magnets before hand-stitching all pieces into place with your choice of coloured waxed thread. A journal can be included for an extra $8. Feel free to bring your own conchos, special closures, or any decorations you'd like to add (we will have some on hand for sale on the day). If coloured leather kangaroo lacing is preferred to thread, an added cost of $2.50 per metre will apply. What you will learn:

• Safe tool use

• Leather differences

• Tooling methods

• Bevelling and burnishing

• Saddle stitching
