Ed Morlan
Ed Morlan started costuming without realizing it by designing and sewing his own gear for military trainings and finding his way to the occasional movie set where he met a group of guys who managed to get him to a civil war reenactment event in the early 2000’s. Ever since, he has been very involved in costuming. He loves hand-making wood and leather products; and even forging his own blades and weapons. He’s honed his leather skills and enjoys teaching at various cons to pass on his knowledge. Ed is a civil war reenactor, 13th century longbow archer, Rev War Longhunter, and dabbles in Roman, Greek, WW2 Navy, fantasy, and Sci-Fi and has even entered some costume/cosplay competitions.

We will talk about leather tooling and techniques and you can let your creative side come out while learning the basics. Even if you have tooled before, it’s still a fun piece to create and have fun with, all levels are welcome. Just so you’re warned, since we are a leather tooling class and we love people having fun, this class can be a bit noisy....

In this class students will receive a pocket watch (yes…we provide the watch!) and then while learning a basic leather stitch, you will create a belt sheath for it to go in, belt loop and all. We will help you learn a basic stitch to create your sheath, dye it and even decorate it a bit if time permits. When you are done, you will have a snazzy watch and sheath, all before the time runs out! Just so you’re warned, since we are a leather tooling class ...
