Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this leather class:

In this Bag Making course, students will choose their leather and hardware and learn how to construct a tote bag from start to finish.

The bag making course includes tuition and all the materials needed to make your bag. Leathers will be available to choose from on the day. No experience necessary. A veteran bag maker Lorna Nixon will teach this class.

**Class time may extend up to an additional hour if there are many enrollments, so please do not book bus or train tickets immediately after the scheduled end time of class.

**Disclaimer: We used to offer a class that was integrated with backpack making but the time wasn’t sufficient for both types of classes in one, so we will only focus on tote bags for this class.

Question from anonymous
Hi, I'm from Switzerland and I'm planning a 3-week stay in New York in August/September and I saw that you offer great courses! I'd like to take place on a "leather tote bag" sewing course August 25th September 7th. Do you already have dates for that period? Especially from August 25th to September 7th? It can be an evening or a weekend course.
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! As of now, the only available date for this class is on 03/19. We really can't say when will it be offered again. The school is the one giving us the schedule and there's no update on that as of yet. You can add it to your wish-list so you can be notified via email when new updates are made on the website.
