Courses

Step inside the world of leather craft and learn the techniques behind Basäder’s signature designs. In these intimate workshops and courses, you’ll cut, stitch, and finish your own leather pieces using high-quality materials and hands-on methods.

With over 13 years of experience, I teach both traditional leatherworking techniques and the unconventional methods I’ve developed through my own practice. By using minimal equipment, the process stays approachable and creative—no need for an expensive workshop setup.

Whether you’re new to working with leather or eager to expand your skills, each class is designed to be inspiring, practical, and deeply rewarding. You’ll leave with both knowledge and a finished piece you can wear and use for years to come.

If you are brand new to leather work, we recommend starting with one of our beginner-friendly workshops (wallets, cardholders, small accessories) before moving on to the more advanced multi-week courses and weekend bag intensives.

Classes are held at The Livingroom Collective in Warren, RI, a warm and inspiring waterfront studio designed for creativity and connection.
