LEATHERCRAFT &
WHISKY TASTING
Join us for an intimate evening of Leathercraft & Whisky Tasting.
Craft a Set of Leather Coasters & Stylish Holder. Explore basic leathercraft techniques as you stamp, rivet, punch and dye your leather. You’ll learn the different types of leather and their unique textures, strengths, and characteristics based on the animal and the tanning process.
While your coasters dry, you’ll relax and enjoy a Whisky Tasting with beverage and alcohol expert Lindsay Wood. With 20 years industry experience, she'll take you on a whiskey tour around the world, outlining the subtle differences between Irish Whisky, Scotch, Bourbon and Canadian Rye Whisky. Discover what truly elevates a whiskey, as you’re introduced to a carefully curated selection, each showcasing its unique character and craftsmanship.
Get creative, sip spirits, make friends.
