Introduction to leather goods

I suggest you come to the workshop by the day or half-day to discover the world of leather goods and learn the basics of the craft by making your leather goods.

Initiation toleather goods

I look forward to sharing my passion for arts and crafts with you. During this experience, you'll come into contact with the warm, noble material of leather, learn the saddle stitch and discover the traditional know-how of high-end leather goods. If you opt for a one-day workshop, I'll accompany you in the making of your personal item, and you'll leave with an unforgettable souvenir of this authentic moment. 

Leather is a noble material whose origin and history make each piece unique. Understanding it, appreciating its qualities and recognizing its faults are essential to making long-lasting articles. Our day begins with an introduction to the leathers used at the HÉCOURT workshop. The manufacture of top-of-the-range leather goods using the skills of craftsmen requires the use of traditional techniques, handed down from generation to generation. Only by respecting each step of the process can we guarantee the manufacture of an object of unique quality. Tracing, cutting, trimming, gluing, saddle-stitching, polishing... you'll know all the secrets at the end of the day. The article you produce will be a worthy testimony to this moment of sharing my passion and your commitment. Every time, it's an enriching experience and a warm moment of sharing around the art of craftsmanship and the traditional know-how of high-end leather goods.
