Half-Moon Clutch With Leandra Martin

Date: Wednesday , November 5th

Skill Level: Intermediate

Time: 9:00am to 5:00pm 

Room: 7

Instructor: Leandra Martin

In this workshop, participants will construct a stylish half-moon clutch featuring a zippered closure and wristlet.

The interior will be fully lined with Hermann Oak English Bridle leather and include credit card slots, a slip pocket, and gussets designed to keep contents secure. As this is a construction-focused class, there will not be time for tooling during the session. Participants who wish to tool the exterior panel in advance may contact Leandra at martin.leandra@gmail.com to request the pattern.

Tooling patterns are also available for purchase from Steve Yezek at nlpm63@gmail.com.

Each participant will leave with a completed clutch, a reusable pattern for future projects or custom work, and valuable instruction on achieving clean, professional-quality construction.
