The Maker Social: Leather Workshop Sip, Stitch & Paint

April 18 @ 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm

A cozy daytime creative social where guests stitch + paint their own leather journals or coasters while enjoying coffee, tea, and light fare

Welcome to The Maker Social! A relaxed, daytime creative gathering designed for everyone! Makers, artists, or anyone craving a cozy, hands-on experience.

This is not a traditional class workshop. The Maker Social is a creative social where you’ll stitch, paint, sip, snack, and connect with others while learning the fundamentals of leather painting and design.

Guests will choose between creating a hand-stitched leather journal or a set of leather coasters, then customize their piece using professional leather paints and finishes.

Whether you come solo, with a friend, or as a group, you’ll leave with a finished piece and a full creative reset.
