Is it a camera bag? A book bag? Your favorite everyday carry? Yes, yes, and yes. In this course, students will learn all about basic leatherwork as they make a classic messenger bag. This bag will gradually darken to a rich amber color and will form itself to the body through years of loyal use. The materials fee includes all basic materials for class. Students will also have the option of buying additional hardware and materials from the instructor.
