Leather Journal Cover Workshop
Making your own leather journal cover!
Taking inspiration from the viral Louise Carmen or the gorgeous Dejà Vu Journals, you can make your own leather journal, too.
Using upcycled leather offcuts rescued from local Tasmanian crafters or sustainably sourced Australian leather, you'll handcraft a journal cover complete with your choice of elastic cord, hardware colours, and three charms. Every piece is one-of-a-kind: because we sustainably source our leather, your colour is a surprise—part of the magic!
In two hours, you'll leave with a finished journal cover and the skills to make more at home in any size you like. All tools, templates, and step-by-step instructions are provided, plus links to online resources to keep creating long after the workshop ends.
Set inside Studio Selkie, a beautifully creative studio in Salamanca, you'll be inspired at every turn. Come unleash your inner maker!
Feel free to contact me if you would like a date added; the more the merrier. As long as we have enough participants and the venue is available, I want to serve the community and meet your needs.
Little tip: If you have charms or pendants you love, bring them! Also, a little warning...leatherwork can get a bit noisy, but we offer earplugs :)
