Create a handcrafted leather card wallet in this beginner-friendly workshop led by leatherworker Jason Estala. Participants will personalize a pre-cut leather wallet using decorative stamping and tooling techniques while learning essential leatherworking skills, including stitching, edge finishing, and hardware installation. Jason will guide students through each step of the process, resulting in a durable, handmade wallet perfect for carrying business cards, credit cards, or folded cash. No prior experience is required, and participants will leave with both a finished wallet and a foundation in traditional leathercraft techniques.
