Studio Sessions & Workshops
Step inside the world of leatherwork and learn the techniques behind Basäder’s signature pieces. In these small workshops, you’ll cut, stitch, and finish your own leather goods using quality materials and hands-on methods.
With over 13 years of experience, I teach both traditional techniques and the unconventional methods I’ve developed in my own practice. By working with simple tools, the process stays approachable and creative.
Whether you’re new to leather or expanding your skills, each class is practical, inspiring, and deeply rewarding. You’ll leave with knowledge, confidence, and a piece you can use for years.
Workshops are held at The Livingroom Collective in Warren, RI, a warm and welcoming studio by the water. If you’re brand new, I recommend starting with one of the beginner-friendly workshops before moving on to the more advanced series.
