In this two day introductory class, leatherworker Maryellen Pratt will guide you through the making of your own traditionally styled, hand stitched leather hunting pouch.  Typically carried as hunting / shooting pouches along with muzzleloading guns, bags of this type are also easily adapted  for a variety of other purposes. Both "rustic" and more refined designs will be explored.  

Material selection, design, layout, finishing and a variety of stitching techniques will all be covered. For the materials fee Maryellen will supply the required leather,  thread, needles, dye and buckles.  She can also let you borrow all the tools you'll  need to work on your projects in class -  however If you have your own leatherworking tools, feel free to bring them along.

This class will be held at the Log Cabin Shop in Lodi, Ohio. To contact us with questions about  Maryellen's Hunting Pouch Workshop or for registration information , click  "request info"  -
