4-H Leather Craft Project
2026 Important Dates
Central Indiana Leather Guild Workshop- Saturday May 9th: 9am-3pm
Location: Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds, Farm Bureau Inc. Community Building (red brick building)
We are fortunate to have volunteers from Central Indiana Leathercrafters Guild joining us for the day. They bring a wide range of experience and will be available to help members at all skill levels, from beginners just getting started to those working on more advanced projects. Note that this is a good time to get through most, if not all, of your project! Parents are encouraged to stay and learn along with members, too!
This workshop will be a great time to:
- Get help starting or continuing your project
- Learn techniques like stamping, dyeing, and assembly
- Use shared tools, dyes, and leather scraps
- Ask questions and learn directly from experienced leathercrafters
What to Bring:
- Any leatherworking tools you already have
- Your project kit (if you have one)
- A notebook and pen
- A water bottle
- A packed lunch and any snacks you may want
Please note that timing is flexible throughout the day, but it’s best to arrive earlier if possible. Depending on attendance and the number of volunteers available, some projects may take time and require patience. A willingness to learn and a positive attitude will go a long way.
