Masterclass | Salmon Leather
Join Daniel Ankarstrand, founder and lead designer at Kristian Edde, for a one-day masterclass at Leatherbox Academy focused on the sustainable luxury of salmon leather. This workshop is designed for designers and crafters eager to deeply understand and integrate salmon leather into their work.
Explore the unique characteristics of salmon leather through a series of demonstrations and hands-on experiences led by Daniel. While the masterclass emphasizes learning about the material rather than completing a final product, participants will have the opportunity to handcraft a salmon leather cardholder as a keepsake.
You’ll gain insight into the versatility and beauty of salmon leather, learning how to apply these techniques to enhance your own designs. The workshop accommodates all skill levels, ensuring personal guidance and a chance to try the techniques yourself.
This is more than a learning opportunity; it's a chance to immerse yourself in the world of sustainable design with one of the leading innovators in the field. Join us to share in Daniel's passion for salmon leather and take your craftsmanship to new heights.

Materials
Leather crafting materials are required for most of the Leatherbox events. Sometimes these are fully provided by the organizer, but in most cases the participant is responsible for providing part of the workshop materials. You will always find an overview of this on the event page. Don't have all the necessary materials for the workshop? Order the missing materials in our webshop, or contact Leatherbox. The participant is responsible for arranging the materials in time.
For orders just before the course date, or if you do not have the right materials with you on the day itself, we cannot guarantee that there will be sufficient stock in our wholesale. Therefore, place an order as soon as possible, so that you have the materials at home prior to your participation. Do you want us to prepare your order for you on the course day? Then choose 'Pick up in the store' and send us a message that these items are for the workshop (mail to contact@leatherbox.com stating the workshop and your webshop order number).
Leatherbox is not responsible for the loss or breakdown of materials and tools during the workshop.
The materials that Leatherbox provides are on loan and intended to be able to follow the workshop. These materials remain the property of Leatherbox. You can take home the design you make during the workshop.
Attendees
There is a minimum and maximum number of participants for each workshop or event. Is a workshop fully booked, but would you still like to participate? Leave your details on the waiting list. Then you will be the first to receive a message if a spot becomes available, or if a new date is scheduled. Is the minimum number of participants not reached? Then Leatherbox has the right to move or cancel the workshop. In that case you may leave your registration for the new date, or cancel it free of charge.
Daniel Ankarstrand
Meet Daniel Ankarstrand, the visionary behind the fashion luxury brand Kristian Eddé, where craftsmanship meets environmental consciousness. Originating from a career in social work, Daniel’s profound appreciation for design led him to master the art of leather crafting. He launched his own brand in 2016, driven by a desire to create high-end accessories that are not only beautiful but also kind to nature.
Daniel’s signature material is salmon leather, an innovative and eco-friendly choice. This remarkable material, sourced from the Nordic Sea and tanned by Nordic Fish Leather in Iceland, is a by-product of the fish industry, turning potential waste into wearable art. At his Stockholm atelier, every piece is crafted by hand with utmost precision. Daniel’s passion for salmon leather shines through his work, making each creation a testament to sustainable luxury and meticulous design.
