Open Studio

Saturday, September 19
10am to 4pm PST

As part of Design Vancouver Festival, Joe is opening his workshop to the public — a rare opportunity to see the space where each piece is made and to ask the questions you'd never think to put in an email. Joe will gladly answer your questions while offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of his craft.

RSVP required, as the studio welcomes a maximum of six guests at a time.

    CONVERSATION

    Meet with Joe at his Atelier & Showroom to share your vision, timeline, and material preferences.

    To make the most of this conversation, you’re welcome to bring examples, images, or screenshots of leather pieces that inspire you.
