A walk through for the basics of leatherwork lead by the designers at Ribbons and Rivets! Participants will be instructed on how to edge, burnish, dye, seal, and decorate their very own wrist cuff and leave with a finished product.
All tools and materials will be provided, just bring a pair of hands. Leather dye won't hurt you, but if you are concerned about getting your hands colorful, we do have gloves if needed.
Matthew is a professional costumer as well as the owner of the theatrical design company Ribbons and Rivets, which he founded in 2009. A self-taught leatherworker, he made his first suit of armor in college out of scraps and remnants from the local Tandy. Although it was created primarily as a leather-working business, Ribbons and Rivets has since incorporated a variety of materials to bring designs and characters to life and is known for attention to detail and screen accuracy. Matthew enjoys doing workshops and demos on leather work and patterning, and is always happy to talk shop with fellow costumers.
