What to Expect

Two Days. One Seriously Nice Bag.

Spend a weekend in the shop with Aaron learning the craft the right way. You'll work with premium leather, real tools, and a proven pattern, ending up with a bag you'll want to carry for years.

Aaron has been making leather goods for years and has taught thousands of students through his YouTube videos, and now you'll have the opportunity to learn from him in person. Seats are limited to 12 per location on purpose.

No experience required. If you can follow instructions and enjoy making things with your hands, you'll do great. We'll take care of everything else.

What's Included

Full American Bison leather kit & all hardware
Printed pattern to keep
Lunch both days
Lifetime access to Aaron’s full Learn with Illume course ($97 value)

Before You Sign Up

Good to Know

None at all. Aaron will walk you through every step. If you've never touched leather before, you're in the right place.

Full leather kit, hardware, printed pattern, lunch both days, and lifetime access to Aaron's Learn with Illume online course.

Just 12 per location. That's intentional, a small group means more time with Aaron and a better experience for everyone.

Yes that's the goal, and we've built the schedule to make it happen. You'll leave with a finished bag.

Within 14 days of the class, refunds are no longer available — Aaron will have already begun hand-prepping each student's leather kit, which requires significant time to cut, skive, and assemble. Can't make it? You're welcome to transfer your seat to someone else at any time. If the seat can't be filled, we may offer store credit if we're able to fill your spot from the waitlist. Questions? Reach out at orders@makersleathersupply.com. Thank you for your understanding!
