Step into traditional leathercraft in Veliko Tarnovo and turn natural leather into a durable, personal accessory. At The House Center for Applied Arts and Crafts, you work hands-on with guidance from an experienced master in an authentic historic setting.

What you’ll experience
From raw material to a finished piece, you learn and practice each stage of the craft. The master shows the techniques, helps you choose the right tools, and supports you at every step so you can feel the material and achieve a neat result.

Step by step, you will

• prepare and condition a piece of natural leather;
• cut it precisely to your chosen shape;
• punch stitch or hardware holes where needed;
• stamp a pattern or initials for character;
• dye the leather in a suitable tone;
• assemble and finish for a strong, clean look.

What you can make
Pick a small, practical project and leave with a ready piece that carries your signature—such as a keyring, bookmark, or another personal accessory. Leather develops a beautiful patina over time, becoming both a keepsake and an everyday item.

Atmosphere and venue
You work in a small group, so the master’s attention reaches every participant. A glass of wine or a warm drink adds comfort, while the view toward Tsarevets and the old town naturally fuels inspiration.

Duration and format
The session lasts about 120 minutes and runs in a group. Choose a voucher for one or for two and share the experience—both of you create in parallel under the master’s guidance.

What’s included

• participation in a leathercraft workshop for one or two;
• all necessary materials and tools on site;
• the finished accessory you make is yours to take home.
