Leathercraft Workshops – Learn the Craft Properly

Artisan & Lær workshops are structured, hands-on leathercraft experiences designed for those wanting to properly learn the foundations of traditional leatherwork in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Workshops are generally hosted monthly in Calen and are limited to 12 participants per session to ensure quality instruction and a genuine learning experience.

Each participant is provided with their own tool kit, apron and all materials required to complete their selected project. You will leave with a fully completed, functional leather item made by your own hands under guided instruction.

Workshop Structure

Workshops are offered in two tiers:

Full Day Workshops

Saturdays | 9:00am – 4:00pm
Includes a 15-minute smoko break and 30-minute lunch break (fully catered & Included in the price).

Full Day sessions dive deeper into leathercraft, incorporating a wider range of tools and more advanced techniques. These workshops are suited to adults and older high school students

(Recommended 16+ or 14+ with a participating adult).

Full Day sessions include refreshments, smoko and lunch.

Half Day Workshops

Sundays | 10:00am – 2:00pm
Includes a 15-minute smoko break with refreshments provided (fully catered & Included in the price).

Half Day sessions focus on foundational techniques and simplified projects. These are ideal for beginners or those wanting a lighter introduction to leatherwork.

(Recommended age: 12+ or 10+ with a participating adult)

Half Day sessions include refreshments and smoko.

Age Guidelines

Full Day Workshops: Recommended 16+ OR 14+ with a participating adult.
Half Day Workshops: Recommended 12+ OR 10+ with a participating adult.

Dedicated school holiday workshops will be offered where availability permits for younger participants with age-appropriate projects.

Workshop Confirmation & Minimum Numbers

Each workshop requires a minimum of 8 participants to proceed.

Workshops will be confirmed 7 days prior to the scheduled date once minimum numbers have been reached.

If minimum numbers are not met, participants will be offered the option to transfer to a future workshop date of the same tier or receive a full refund.

Bookings will close 5 days prior to the workshop date to allow final preparation of materials and catering.

Pricing

Workshop pricing varies slightly depending on the project being created, as different items require varying amounts of leather, hardware and materials.

Full Day Workshops are higher priced than Half Day Workshops due to the complexity of the product, extended instruction time and full catering included.

You are essentially creating a fully completed Artisan & Lær piece under guided instruction.

Final pricing is released alongside confirmed workshop dates.

Bookings & Payment

Bookings are made directly through the website once workshop dates are released.

Workshops are limited to 12 participants and are secured upon full payment at the time of booking.

Cancellation Policy

Due to limited participant numbers and the advance preparation of materials and catering, all workshop bookings are final and non-refundable.

If a participant cancels:

• More than 7 full days prior to the scheduled workshop date, a workshop credit equal to the amount & tier paid for will be issued.
• 7 days or less prior to the scheduled workshop date, no credit will be issued.

Credits are issued solely for future workshop bookings and are not redeemable or exchangeable for cash, retail products, services, gift vouchers, or any other monetary equivalent.

Participants may transfer their booking to another person up to 48 hours prior to the workshop start time. Transfer requests received after this time will not be accepted.

It is the original participant’s responsibility to arrange the replacement and provide the new participant’s full name, contact details and any required information to Artisan & Lær within this timeframe.

No replacements will be accepted on the day of the workshop.

Artisan & Lær does not facilitate, manage, or assume responsibility for any financial arrangements between participants.

Workshop credits:

• Are valid for 6 months from the original workshop date.
• May only be applied to a workshop of the same tier (Full Day to Full Day or Half Day to Half Day).
• Are not transferable between tiers.
• Require payment of any price difference at the time of rebooking if the future workshop is higher priced.
• Are not eligible for partial redemption or refund.

Failure to attend without prior 48 hours notice constitutes forfeiture of the booking and no credit will be issued.

In the event that Artisan & Lær cancels a scheduled workshop, participants will be offered either a full refund or the option to transfer to a future workshop of the same tier.

Private & Travelling Workshops

Private group bookings, corporate sessions and travelling workshops are still available by request and subject to availability.

Travel fees may apply. A minimum 30 days notice is required for off-site bookings.
