Don called our workshop phone last year. When I picked up he asked “Is this Uphill Designs? I was hoping to speak to someone about a class you have.” Don had seen our upcoming St. Patrick’s Day Flask Making & Whiskey Tasting Class in an article in the Seattle Times. But he had some problems.
#1 ) It was presented as a date night but he would just be coming by himself.
Which of course, wasn't a problem. In each of our classes we have a smattering of people who come by themself and those that bring a partner, friend or family member.
And #2) “ I’m 72 and I’ve never tried whiskey before and this seems like a good time. But, I’m worried I won’t like it.”
And Don, you are not alone. Maybe it’s really not your thing OR maybe you had a bad shot of Jack Daniels in college and you thought that ruined whiskey for you forever. For the latter problem, we curate a variety of high-end whiskeys from around the world — to answer questions like is it whiskey you don’t like or peated whiskey you don’t like?
And just in case you truly don’t dig whiskey but you’re really into this leather thing (or really want to try out the experience with a friend or partner) here’s how we responded to our future friend Don “How’s this, I’ve got a couple of bottles of good wine at the workshop and if you don’t enjoy the different whiskeys you’ll get your pick.” Don signed up then and there.

Last St. Paddy’s day, our guests ranged from mid 20’s to 72. Half came with someone, half came alone. Almost all of them had never tried leather working before. It was special to create an excuse for people to meet one another and connect. After a pour of whiskey and formal introductions with the workshop cat, Scipio, we started in on the leatherworking. We shaped corners and tooled lettering into the leather. When we chose colors and dyed our flasks, a number of people found their creative side and worked with the dye to create a beautiful ombre look, which we had never seen before.
This night is all about sharing with you our accumulated fascination with leather & whiskey, tasty treats to keep the buzz exactly where you want it, and good people. We’re here to take care of you and if you have an interest in learning something new, you belong (Even if that new thing is, “oh yeah, I can confidently say I only a smooth Japanese Whisky.”)
Show up and we’ll do the rest. The bar is stocked, the appetizers abound and the leathercrafting is unforgettable. You’ll meet some new friends, learn something new, fill up on delicious treats and leave with memories and a flask you’ll cherish. Other people have their St. Paddy’s day traditions, this is ours (of which the Irish ancestors of owner Mallory Monahan would be proud).
