Open Table (Come Work In Our Store):   Are you stuck on a project?  Just have some questions on how to use a tool or get an effect on leather?  Looking for a little guidance as to how to proceed with your project, pattern or idea?  This Open Table is for you!  During the hours of 11am – 4pm our highly skilled and knowledgeable Staff will be available to answer questions, offer guidance, provide honest critiques (with no judgment), or generally help nudge you towards the even better Leathercrafter that we see in you!   Bring your project in and work at our tables during these hours.  While we can’t do the work for you, we are very excited to help guide you on that stubborn project.  Space is limited, though no reservations are needed.   

All Ages Welcome.   Cost:  FREE

**NEW CLASS***   How To Price Your Work:  Have you been struggling with what price to put on your leather products?  Have you come up with your prices by simply making sure your material cost is covered?  Are you pricing your work based exclusively on what other people are charging?  Did you pluck your sale price out of thin air because it “felt right”?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, or if you’re just getting ready to start selling your work and you don’t know where to start, this class is for you. 

We’ll explain a simple equation that will help you determine your price and work with you to customize it further from there.  While not all solutions will work for everyone, this is definitely a good place to start.

Attendees are encouraged to bring data on one of their more popular or favorite items to sell so that you can plug in the math and see where your price should be.  Please have the time it takes to make the item and the list or full cost of the materials incorporated into the item.  We’ll take it from there……….and yes, you mostly likely are charging too little.  But don’t worry, we can help!
