+ What we will do

During this workshop you will have the possibility to design and produce your very own fully custom made accessory, with the label's collection and concept as the starting point. You will make your own pair of earrings or brooche or necklace pendant out of leather and retro reflective material.

We will start with an introduction about the materials, production techniques related to leather and the story behind the label The Cyclist.

You will then make sketches of the accessory you would like, followed by a quick paper mock-up and then followed by the production by hand of your final piece. There will be plenty of examples to inspire you and I will help and advise you with all the steps.

You will go home with one pair of earrings or one brooch or one necklace pendant. During the workshop, all materials and tools will be provided, including among others: many colours of leather, earring hooks/studs (gold plated silver, nickel free) and brooch pins (metal).

The workshop is suited for all levels of skills: from beginners to crafting experts, all levels are welcome.
