LEATHER JOURNAL COVER

SMELL THE LEATHER, FEEL THE CRAFT - AND GO HOME WITH YOUR OWN BOOK COVER

MAKE YOUR OWN LEATHER JOURNAL COVER

Always wanted to make something beautiful with leather in a short, hands-on workshop?

In this Leather Journal Cover Workshop, you’ll create your own A5 leather notebook cover in just two hours. Simple, personal, and timeless.

You’ll work with high-quality genuine leather and learn the basics of leatherworking while designing a cover that fits your style. Choose your leather, color, and finishing details, and experience how quickly a flat piece of leather transforms into a functional object you’ll use every day.

We work with responsibly sourced leather and make efficient use of materials, so you can create something beautiful with care and attention.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

We start with a short introduction to leather, materials, and the tools you’ll be using. After that, you’ll choose your leather and design your A5 journal cover.

There is a selection of high-quality leather available in different colors and textures, sourced from European tanneries. With guidance from our professional instructor, you’ll cut your leather, punch holes, and assemble your cover step by step using hand tools.

No sewing machines are involved. The focus is on working with your hands, understanding the material, and enjoying the creative process.

EASY TO JOIN, FUN TO MAKE

Whether it’s your first time working with leather or you’ve made things before, this workshop is designed to feel relaxed and approachable.
Our professional instructor supports you step by step, so you can enjoy making without pressure.

WHAT WILL YOU TAKE HOME?

At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your own handmade A5 leather journal cover.
Perfect for writing, sketching, or gifting to someone special.

Please note: this workshop focuses on making the cover only. The notebook itself is not included.
