Make and Take Leather Item - card case or keychain (Bryn Gwlad Fall Baronial 2024)

Simple project that involved coloring the leather with markers, stitching and other finishing, 2-3 hours needed (and a lot of tools to transport)

Leather Types and Uses (Candlemas 2025, Shadowlands A&S Shenanigans 2025)

Trunk-show style discussion about leather types, properties, and where you should try to use it. I bring several examples to let you see and feel the leather. It's good for small group around a table, and I have some notes that I work through but usually answer questions for majority of the time. 1+ hours

Leather Carving (Sherwood Forest Faire, etc)

I bring a leather carving project, sit somewhere, and work on it. I'll talk with anyone interested, and bring a lot of carving examples with me.

Non-Armigerous Awards and Recognitions:

• Muse of Bryn Gwlad (Candlemas, 2025)
