Know Your Cork: Smooth, Rustic & Agglomerate Explained – The Bag Maker’s Guide to Cork Fabrics

€7,50

Ever wondered why some cork fabrics feel smooth and flexible while others are stiff, crack, or fall apart in bag making?

This Live Recorded Zoom Workshop & accompanying Know Your Cork Handbook will give you the confidence to choose the right cork fabric for the right project – and show you how to avoid the common pitfalls that catch so many bag makers out.

For less than the price of coffee & cake, this session could transform how you choose cork for your bag making — and the confidence to pick the right cork and make better bags is truly priceless!

(This is a recording from the originally live Zoom workshop, 5th October 2025)

What You’ll Learn

In this friendly, practical session, I’ll share:

  •  The 3 main types of cork fabric – Smooth, Rustic & Agglomerate.

  • How each type is made and why that matters for sewing.

  • Which corks work best for bag making (and how to use rustic/agglomerate so they don’t crack).

  • Examples of “bad cork” so you know what to avoid when buying.

  •  A close-up look at real cork bark straight from the tree – so you can see how it transforms into fabric.

Why do I need this?

This isn’t a generic “cork 101” – it’s a focused, bag maker’s guide that will save you time, money, and frustration when choosing fabrics, especially when buying online. You’ll leave with the confidence to pick cork fabric that lasts, and the tricks to work with even the trickier types. Friendly, practical, and full of real-life examples.

A quick note for our friends in the USA:

Due to current tariff and customs requirements, all cork fabric orders to the United States must be shipped by courier service. Severe weather conditions and road closures are currently preventing couriers from collecting shipments reliably. As a result, we are unable to ship any cork fabric orders to the USA at this time.

THIS DOES NOT AFFECT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD PATTERNS.

Unfortunately, we do not have an estimated timeframe for when collections will resume. Shipping will be reinstated as soon as courier services return to normal.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions regarding an existing order, please feel free to get in touch.
