What to expect

Get ready to step into the world of leathercraft with a hands-on leather wallet workshop at Empty Shelf in Old Pasadena. Led by experienced leather artisan Kit, this intimate workshop invites you to slow down, work with your hands, and discover the quiet beauty of traditional leatherworking.

Using premium, pre-cut top-grain cowhide, you’ll learn foundational techniques such as bonding leather, saddle stitching, and burnishing edges. Each step is guided with care, allowing you to feel the material, understand the process, and enjoy the rhythm of making something from scratch.

This workshop is designed for beginners, but welcomes anyone drawn to thoughtful, tactile creativity. As you stitch, assemble, and finish your piece, conversations flow naturally, and the act of making becomes just as meaningful as the finished object.

By the end of the two-hour session, you’ll take home a handcrafted double-sided leather cardholder, along with the confidence and skills to continue exploring leathercraft. No prior experience is needed. All tools and materials are provided.

If you’re looking for a creative pause in Old Pasadena, this workshop at Empty Shelf offers a chance to learn, connect, and leave with something made entirely by you.
