Join us at the Cuba Library on Saturday, October 24 from 10 am – 2 pm and learn about leather tooling with Clifford Redeye. Learn to make a leather medallion which involves carving, tooling, and dyeing. Participants will carve and tool the Buffalo Bills logo into the leather and use leather dyes to color the image after the tooling is complete. Then, the participants will stitch around the edge with leather lacing. All supplies will be provided. This program is free and open to adults 19 & up, but space is limited, and registration is required. Please call the library at (585) 968 1668, email cuba@stls.org or message us on Facebook to sign up.
