Create a customized leather phone case at Carnegie Hall

Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg, West Virginia, is offering a unique opportunity for students aged 12 and older to delve into the traditional art of leatherworking by creating custom leather cell phone cases. Led by instructor Luke Davis, the workshop, Custom Leather Cell Phone Cases, is part of the Appalachian Heritage series and will take place on Saturday, May 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This workshop provides a personalized experience with a small class size of up to eight participants, ensuring individualized attention and a nurturing environment for creativity to thrive.

The aim of this workshop is to guide students in designing and crafting their very own leather cell phone case that can be securely attached to a belt. This unique accessory is ideal for those who are tired of constantly fumbling with their phones or struggling to find a safe place to keep them. Through the use of simple and accessible techniques, along with an array of tools provided by the instructor, participants will have the opportunity to fashion a one-of-a-kind holder that not only fits their phone perfectly but also reflects their personal style.

The class is suitable for individuals with varying levels of experience in leatherworking, whether they are beginners or seasoned practitioners. A central focus of the workshop is to highlight the aesthetic appeal, durability, and lasting value of handcrafted leather goods. By the end of the session, each student will depart with a functional piece that is not only a practical everyday accessory but is also crafted to withstand the test of time.

For those interested in taking part in this unique experience, the workshop is priced at $75 for members of Carnegie Hall and $85 for non-members. Due to the popularity of this Appalachian Heritage offering, it is recommended to secure a spot by registering early to ensure participation in this blend of creativity, craftsmanship, and the satisfaction of creating something both useful and enduring.
