Clean borders frame great leatherwork. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to create geometric border designs while building confidence with foundational stamping techniques.

This course focuses on precision, spacing, alignment, and repetition — the skills that make borders look intentional instead of uneven. You’ll practice creating consistent impressions, maintaining flow along straight edges and corners, and developing the rhythm that strong tooling requires.

Whether you’re adding borders to belts, wallets, bags, or larger projects, the techniques in this class will strengthen your control and elevate the overall finish of your work. It’s a focused practice session that pays off across every project you build.
