Leatherworking Skills - Setting Rivets

In this class we will learn all about rivets:

Different types of rivets, chicago screws, buttons, snaps, and more
When to use the different types, how the finish looks may change the style of your project
Color options for the different types of hardware
What to avoid to make sure your hardware doesn't rust or tarnish

Each student will get a chance to set multiple types of rivets through multiple thicknesses as well as using chicago screws. We will try out press setting, using a cheap rivet setting anvil, and using a professional small anvil or solid work surface.

All tools, leather, and supplies will be provided.

Prerequisites: None. This class can be taken as a beginner and all skills will be discussed and taught.

This class is best for ages 14 and above. Those under 14 should seek instructor approval before registering. Exceptions will typically be granted. Non-members under 18 should confirm with the instructor the rules for underage participants. This class is open to all races and genders. If there is anything you wish the instructor to be aware of ahead of the class. Please email. This class is a safe space, those who violate our code of conduct will be removed.

The class will meet in the Main Room at the Leesburg location unless otherwise specified.
