Itinerary and highlights

Rob Hall Design Studios is an "industrial chic" leathercraft design studio located in the heart of Washington, DC at the historic 52 O Street Artists Studios facility.

Come join us for our Handbag Leathercraft "Sip & Stitch" workshop where our guests are provided with the materials, equipment, and instruction required to craft a modern leather handbag using an industrial Chinese hand crank sewing machine.

Guests are able to choose from brown or black leather and gold or silver hardware. Each handbag includes a customized leather tag featuring the name of the person who crafted it and/or the name of the person for whom it was made as a gift.

Guests can arrive as individuals, couples, or groups (up to 12). Whether for team building, birthdays, date nights, or personal fun for fashion enthusiasts - a workshop at our studio will be a unique crafting experience you won't soon forget.
