Leather Bound with Sabel Saddlery

POST_Leather samples

Great introductory course to working with leather from E17 specialists Sabel Saddlery at BHW HQ this evening. Not only do they have a great slogan ” Bespoke Leather Design for Horse, Human & Home”  but they talked us through the tricks of the trade and led us into a whole new world of making.

Over the course of this one session evening course, we were introduced to leather claws and the art of double stitching, hand burnishing and polishing, different types of linen thread and techniques to wax it, and of course passed on a list of the best suppliers in London to seek out the necessary tools to get started.
