Leather Knife Sheath Workshop
Adult Workshop | Registration opens 5/14/2025 8:00 PM EDT
A good knife can last you a lifetime if you give it a good home. This class gives you the opportunity to do that. This class will teach you how to design, pattern, sew and treat either a pouch, split toe style or stud style sheath. This sheath can be made with or without a belt loop. We will explore different design aspects and options. Beginners welcome. To participate in this class you will be required to bring a knife to pattern. What style sheath you make will be determined by the kind of knife you bring with you.
- Students are suggested to either bring an apron or wear clothes that can potentially get stained as it is possible this may occur in the process of finishing projects.
