  • Mountains & Waterways Leather Pendant & Earring Set

    Adirondack Folk School 51 Main St., Lake Luzerne, NY, United States

    Inspired from camping, hiking, and kayaking in the Adirondacks, we'll be making "Mountains" or "Waterways" leather pendant necklace and earring sets for our class. After selecting a design, students will learn various leather craft techniques, including but not limited to, cutting, stamping, dying, and antiquing. Additionally, we'll add bead "cairns" to our jewelry using notable stones found in the Adirondacks. To complete the set, we'll add leather cord with silver plated findings and sterling silver ear wires. Pendant sizes are approximately 2 5/8" tall for teardrop and 2" diameter for circle.
