Ticket type

Step into our workshop and experience the art of traditional leathercraft firsthand.

Join us for a guided tour of our one-of-a-kind, Old World-style studio, led by owner Kay Rye or her daughter, Annie Rye. You'll explore our impressive collection of hand tools and machinery—many dating back 50 to 100 years—and watch our skilled artisans bring leather to life using time-honored techniques.

While we embrace some modern tools like industrial sewing machines, skivers, and clickers, you won’t find laser cutters, 3D printers, or computerized templates here. This is craftsmanship in its purest form.

Curious minds are welcome! The tour offers plenty of time to learn about the tools, materials, and processes involved in creating fine leather goods.

Each paid admission includes a Sole Survivor Swag Bag, featuring a $20 Sole Survivor Gift Card and a few fun surprises.

Kids 15 and under get in free when accompanied by a parent or guardian—but they still need their own ticket.

Booking Instructions for Multiple Ticket Types

When purchasing both general admission and other ticket types, please add each type to your cart separately.

  1. Start with General Admission Tickets.
    When prompted with "Are you bringing anyone with you?" the system automatically includes you as one person. So, only enter the number of additional people (besides yourself).

  2. Bringing Children Under 15?

    • If you're bringing one child under 15, select “no” when asked if you're bringing anyone else.

    • If you're bringing two children under 15, select “yes” and enter 1 (ONE) as the number of additional people.

  3. Made a Mistake?
    If you end up with the wrong number of tickets in your cart, you can usually adjust the quantity directly in the shopping cart before checking out.

  4. Our booking calendar shows availability for the next 60 days.
    If your preferred date isn’t listed yet, it may not be open for booking—please check back closer to that time.
