Thursday (full day), Room 7

*All Day classes are from 9am-5pm with an hour lunch break at noon.

Class Description:

Knowing what sections of an alligator hide are useful for specific projects can be a bit of a mystery, but Broderick is well-versed in knowing where to cut and why. He will have whole crust (undyed) adalligator skins for students to work with, from which they will cut their 1-piece belt strips. That’s right! No hobbling together of pieces…just one, long, amazing piece of alligator that tells a story. These belts will be lined with cowhide, dyed by the student and finished in class (sewn, edge finished, hardware and all). All skill levels welcome!

Materials to Bring: Notebook, pencil/pen and questions. Cameras and video are welcome. You will need a cutting mat, knife, scissors, mallet, pounding board, etc. Don’t forget your maker’s mark if you have one.
