The Walsall leather skills centre have kindly offered their venue once a month for veterans to attend and dabble with the making of leather goods. If you would like to learn a new skill and have banter with like minded people then please keep an eye out on the events tab for upcoming dates, brews, biscuits and all materials will be provided for on the day. 

Initial visit will be a welcome introduction to the WLSC and the introductory keyring making exercise. 

Progressive visits you learn how to make a wallet, dog collar and valet tray to name a few items.
