Have you ever thought about designing something handmade? Frank is a local leathercrafter creating unique pieces by hand in his studio in the borough.

He will be showing everyone how to turn scraps into waste-free accessories. Frank will use simple patterns using the off cuts from the making process. Make your own accessories and nothing gets wasted!

Don’t forget to bring along one of the barter items:

A story
A joke
A pencil
A book recommendation

Frank is a local business owner and leathercrafter who has been crafting the borough for over two years. Find out more at www.frankhorn.com
