Join leather artisan Rachel Dengate to learn the skills of the Mystery Braid Cuff and how to make your own!

Unveil the secrets of the Mystery Leather Braid in this hands-on workshop with renowned artisan Rachel Dengate, who brings over 30 years of expertise to guide you in crafting your own leather cuff.
 
The Mystery braid creates an intricate design that appears impossible—yet Rachel will show you how! You’ll learn sizing, variations, cutting techniques, adding press studs, and finishing touches, all while developing a new skill.
 
This workshop is perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike. All materials are provided—just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!
 
Related to our Makers & Manufacturers exhibition, this workshop offers a unique chance to explore the fascinating leather history of Hurstville. Don't miss out on this creative experience!
 
‘Makers & Manufacturers’ explores the often-untold industrial history of the St George region, showcasing objects from our own collection as well as loans from both public and private collections. The exhibition focuses on highlighting lesser-known aspects of local economic and business history, spanning from the early 19th century to the 1970s and will be on display until Sunday 11 May 2025.

This event is for adults (16 years and over).
