'Big bucket' leather bag making workshop

Sebin reviewed: Sneaker workshop

"For a person who is not particularly creative, I surprised myself when after just 2 days, I managed to create a gorgeous pair of sneakers. Eli is a skilled and patient tutor and a wonderfully friendly person. The class is small enough for everyone to get the attention they need."

"I had such a great time making my bag with Eli, she was so lovely and accommodating, and I have learnt so many great skills. Not only that but I have come away with my new favourite handbag - AND I MADE IT!! I love her ethos and to know everything is reclaimed is even better! If you've ever wanted to try something new, and make something super special, this is such a great idea! Thanks again, I have been using my bag everyday since!!"
