With our 4-legged friends playing such an important role in our lives, during this 3½ hour workshop Tracy from Cotswold Hipster will guide you in making a bespoke Italian leather collar and lead for your pooch.

With a choice of colours from their ever-popular leather and felt collection, you will learn how to construct the collar and then get creative with your lead.

Prior to the workshop, we will get in touch to obtain your preferred colour and size choice for the collar.

The colour options available are:

• poppy & sky
• chocolate & cornflower
• tan & natural
• olive & raspberry
• teal & mustard
• tan & marine

At the workshop you will learn how to add the hardware to your collar using rivets in either a brass or nickel finish. Then learn how to cut, burn and cap off the end of the dog leash rope and stitch securely before adding the handle and the hardware (trigger/O-ring). Finally, learn how to use coloured paracords, to add the ‘whipping’ to make your lead truly one of a kind!

There will also be brass letter stamps should you wish to emboss your dog’s name onto the collar or lead.

All materials provided and suitable for complete novices or those with some experience of working with leather.

Tickets £100 (8 Places)

The workshop will at Willersey Village Hall 5 minutes drive from Broadway village. There is ample free parking onsite.
