Leather Harness Workshop

Join Dykes With Drills at the Chicago School of Shoemaking and Leather Arts for this fun introduction to leather work. In this workshop, you will work with beautiful premium leather, rings, buckles, and rivets to create a custom harness for your torso, hips, or legs. Or make a collar or cuff. So many possibilities!

The Chicago School of Shoemaking and Leather Art Instructor will guide you with design and measurements. We recommend wearing a close-fitting t-shirt for fit purposes. All materials are included in the cost of the class. No experience required. Open to all!
