Ember and Stitch

Ember & Stitch is a leatherworking studio and experiential retail space located in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District. We specialize in hands-on, beginner-friendly workshops that invite people to slow down, work with their hands, and create something meaningful.

Founded by Colorado native Tessa Guthrie, Ember & Stitch is built on the belief that craftsmanship should feel personal and approachable. Our workshops are designed for all skill levels—no prior experience required—and guide guests through making high-quality leather goods they can use and treasure for years to come.

In addition to workshops, Ember & Stitch is home to Denver’s first Branding Bar, where guests can emboss or iron-brand leather with initials, symbols, or custom designs. Every class emphasizes creativity, community, and the beauty of imperfections—because pieces made with intention and memory hold the most value.

Whether you’re coming solo, with friends, or as part of a group, our events are welcoming, relaxed, and focused on connection as much as creation.

Come make something by hand—and leave your mark.
