Leather Care and Repair

During the winter, your boots and coats need some care. Getting the salt out and conditioning your leather items is a great way to keep them going for many years, and reducing the number of items you have to buy over a lifetime.

Join us for this demo night with long-time professional leather worker Beth, the founder of Ottawa Leather Works, as she shows you how to bring those salty boots back to life!

📅Monday February 24th, 7:00 pm- 9:00 pm
