Leathercraft Workshop in the Rastro of Madrid
Overview
This workshop offers the participants the opportunity of making their own personalized leather object using only their hands and a little imaginacion. The participants can choose between a wallet, a travelling purse, a handbag, a glasses case, ..or maybe they wish to design something different . The process is not difficult and the teacher will help all the time. The satisfaction of creating a useful, long lasting and attractive piece of handcraft is incomparable! Another highlight of this experience is the fact that the workshop is situated in the centre of Madrid which is the oldest part of the city, in a neighbourhood called La Latina which is near the Cebada Square. It is an area where the biggest Street Market takes place every Sunday called El Rastro. El Rastro is full of Antique and Handcraft shops and stalls, together with a great amount of restaurants, bars and coffee shops. One of the main streets is Ribera de Curtidores or Tannery road where there are many Leather shops.

What To Expect
I will show the participants the use of the tools used for Leathercraft, many of which haven't changed since medieval times.This experience is for those who wish to discover an authentic Spanish Leathercraft Workshop and learn how to make their own Leather items. Each participant will have the opportunity to use real Spanish Cowhide to create a Leather item with their own hands. In the workshop the participants can choose between a bag (with or without a strap), an original glasses case, a wallet, a passport booklet or a purse . There is also the option of making a piece different from these which will be designed in the act...maybe something one always wanted to make....a handbag, a mobile phone case, a belt pouch ....if this is the case the teacher should be informed beforehand. I will also introduce them to the variety of different kinds of leather that exist. For those who don't speak Spanish I speak perfect English as I am originally from Ireland. There will not be many of us in the workshop so we have the chance to get to know each other without hurry.
