About This Event

Sunday, March 15th | 10 am to 4 pm at the WREN Gallery

Cost: $150 plus $90 materials fee

Materials kit includes leather, solid brass hardware, needles, thread, and embellishments

This workshop guides participants through the design and construction of a rugged, hand-sewn leather field bag—an essential companion for time spent outdoors, whether for exploring, harvesting, sketching, or carrying everyday tools. Field bags are traditionally small yet highly functional, designed to carry essential items without becoming cumbersome or restrictive in movement.

Participants will construct a durable, versatile bag sized for everyday carry (EDC) tools and necessities. The finished bag can be worn cross-body or attached to a belt, making it adaptable for a wide range of field uses. Built from medium well-oiled cowhide, the bag offers excellent durability and natural weather resistance, protecting its contents while developing a rich patina over time.

Tools will be provided.

About the instructor: Adhi Two Owls is a professional artist, educator, and craftsperson with over 30 years of experience in the visual arts. She holds a wide knowledge of traditional techniques and contemporary practices, working across media including drawing, painting, sculpture, and fine craft. Adhi teaches Art History and Drawing at SUNY Canton and leads workshops throughout the U.S. and internationally. Her approach blends technical skill, creative exploration, and thoughtful engagement with materials and ideas. She is committed to helping students develop confidence in their artistic voice through supportive and hands-on instruction.

Please note: this class requires a minimum of 4 participants to run. If minimum enrollment is not reached by Thursday, March 12th, the class will be rescheduled, and registrations will be refunded.
