Pre-Expo Cinch Making Clinic
Thursday, April 24, 2025
Class Description:
Join us at our Cinch Building Clinic in Shakopee MN the day before Expo on
April 24, 2025, where you’ll have the chance to explore your artistic talents
and meet like-minded individuals who share your passion for creating
beautiful cinches.
This introductory cinch-making clinic will cover a wide range of topics,
including Cinch Materials – Natural vs. synthetic – Determining Cinch
Size – How conformation affects cinch width and length – Knots to Know –
Cordage Length – Building the Cinch – Details & Design work – After
build care for your cinch – Resources for materials to
make more cinches.
As this is an introductory cinch class, we’ll focus on straight cinches.
You can use the techniques learned to create custom straight cinches, breast
collars, belts, hat bands, key chains and more. The skills used in making a
straight cinch are prerequisites for more advanced builds such as roper and
english style cinches.
NEW
This Year:
We’re thrilled to offer more options in this clinic! In addition to crafting
a straight-style western cinch, you can choose to make a packer-style
cinch with double rings.
You’ll also take home all the tools needed to create a cinch – Loom –
Instruction Booklet – 5-piece tool kit.
Not only will you have the opportunity to learn new skills and techniques, but
you’ll also be able to connect with other creative individuals and share your
experiences and ideas. Seats are limited.
