Have you ever wondered how they get that shiny gold lettering onto stationery, leather and more? Robin from Toronto leather brand Fitzy will teach you the secret technique behind the traditional art of foil stamping on her hot foil machine. You’ll get to monogram your very own notebook, and leather keychains. In addition to learning all about hot foil stamping, you’ll get a crash course in leather tooling. Leather tooling is a cold stamping method that’s been used for hundreds of years. It’s great for beginners. Choose from Robin’s selection of alphabet and emoji stamps, or use one of the many “drawing stamps” to create almost any design imaginable!

Students are also welcome to bring in their own materials for stamping.

**In an effort to make the space comfortable for everyone, please avoid the use of perfumes and fragrances. 

Bonus: on the day of the workshop, participants will get 10% off all regularly-priced merchandise in our studio-shop.
