Craft Lake City Workshop: Handmade Leather Book Covers

Join local artisan Stephanie Mma-Powell of Powell Supply as she guides you in crafting a durable leather book cover in the style of 18th- and 19th-century America, when handmade covers protected journals, ledgers and personal writings across the colonies. 

Inspired by Ken Burns’ upcoming PBS documentary THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, this hands-on, 2-hour craft workshop invites you to explore early American leathercraft at the PBS Utah Studio.

Learn usable techniques early American leatherworkers practiced, including cutting, punching, shaping and decorative stamping. Create a reusable leather sleeve that fits most standard notebooks and experience the feel of traditional craftsmanship.

You’ll leave with:

• A finished reusable leather book cover
• Practical techniques you can reuse at home
• A relaxed creative experience with natural leather

Perfect for crafters, creatives and anyone interested in traditional making. All materials included, no experience needed.
