Leatherworking 101 - Belt making Workshop with Amano Goods

Join us for a hands-on leatherworking experience at Amano Goods in Echo Park, Los Angeles. In this workshop, you'll learn some of the fundamentals of leatherworking, as applied to making your own belt. Choose from a variety of vegetable tanned leathers and buckle options, and use leatherworking tools under the guidance of owner/designer and expert leathercraftsman, Adan. Courses include all materials, tools, and of course, the final product that you make.

Be advised, classes are scheduled for 3 hours but may go over in time depending on the flow of the class. Stools are provided, but classes generally require standing as well. If you would like additional accessibility options, or have any accessibility related questions please let us know so we can do our best to accomodate you.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have prior knowledge of leatherworking?

No! All skill levels are welcome. We will teach you everything you need to know and provide all tools and materials.

What should I wear?

Comfy shoes and clothes are best, as there will be some amount of standing depending on the work flow.

What light refreshments will be served?

We will have water, non-alcoholic sparkling beverages, & small snacks available for those who need a little energy boost.

Can I bring a friend if they aren't taking the class?

Unfortunately the space is fairly small and designed for a maximum of 6 students, so guests who aren't taking the class are not permitted.

Is there a bathroom available?

Yes, there is a basic bathroom on premise available for use. It is quite small, so accessibility is limited.

Are you an inclusive space?

This is a welcoming environment, accepting of all kind, decent human beings regardless of race, gender, orientation, class, etc. We reserve the right to refuse entry to those who are disruptive, abusive, intoxicated, or in any way threatening to other guests.
