Anthony Luciano Studio is a New York–based leatherworking studio led by Master Leather Craftsman Anthony Luciano. The studio offers a series of hands-on Sip & Stitch workshops and special events where participants build personalized leather accessories in a single session.
Sessions available include Tote Bag, Mini Pouch, Classic Handbag, Unisexy Crossbody, and themed events such as a Halloween VIP party and an Under 21 edition. Workshops run between 2.5 and 3.5 hours and combine step-by-step instruction with a lively social atmosphere.
Many experiences feature artisanal charcuterie, snacks, and a selection of wines or bottomless drinks; the Under 21 edition provides snacks and parental wine options. The Halloween party includes specialty cocktails and a live DJ. A community-focused Crossbody for a Cause workshop supports breast cancer awareness and is guided in part by NYC’s Stephanie Villaronga.
Classes emphasize practical leathercraft techniques, customization, and small-group attention from experienced instructors. Participants leave with a ready-to-use, personalized leather accessory made during the session. The studio’s format suits beginners and creatives seeking an active, social evening in New York City. Booking options cover single tickets for public events and themed group experiences. Anthony Luciano Studio presents a predictable, repeatable workshop experience with clear outcomes: a handcrafted leather piece, guided instruction, and social entertainment in a NYC setting. Sessions often include opportunities to add custom embellishments. Anthony Luciano’s techniques are highlighted in the Classic Handbag and Tote Bag workshops. Several events occur at Studio 1300, including a Studio 54 Halloween transformation with disco snacks and VIP access.
