Cotswold Hipster Leather Dog Collar & Lead Making
Our four-legged friends play such an important role in our lives, so why not come along to this wonderful 4 hour workshop and be guided through the process of making a bespoke collar and lead for them with Tracy from Cotswold Hipster.
Choose your colours from their stunning Italian leather and felt collections, then follow Tracy as she guides you through constructing the collar and helping you get creative with your lead!
Prior to the workshop, we will get in touch to prepare your chosen colour and size choice for the collar. Colours for you to choose from are: poppy & sky, tan & natural, olive & raspberry, teal & mustard, tan & marine or dark brown & blue.
During the workshop:
Learn how to add the hardware to your collar using rivets in either a brass or nickel finish. Then learn how to cut, burn and cap off the end of the dog leash rope and stitch securely before adding the handle and the hardware (trigger/O-ring). Finally, learn how to use coloured paracords, to add the ‘whipping’ to make your lead truly one of a kind!
Available to you on the day will also be their brass letter stamps should you wish to emboss your dog’s name onto the collar or lead. Then, time permitting, you may also make a flower collar accessory or a matching keyring!
To complete the experience, enjoy a leisurely 3 course locally sourced lunch paired with a beautiful glass of wine in the stunning surrounding of The Buttery Dish.
