"Had a lovely relaxed and informative day with Catherine where she introduced me to the skills (and do’s and don’ts) of leathercraft - and put up with my incessant questioning with serene grace! And as a bonus, Hebden Bridge is a beautiful place to go for lunch!!"

"I was a total beginner in leatherwork, but Catherine soon had me cutting, edging and stitching away, as well as helping me with a project I’m working on. A really enjoyable day with a great teacher, highly recommend!"

"As an introduction to a new craft/skill, this course was absolutely outstanding. Attention to detail and care for the projects being undertaken we're top notch. Technical skill levels were taken into account and we both came away with fabulous, handmade items. Many thanks to Cathy for an excellent and inspiring introduction to the art of leatherwork."

Martin reviewed: One to One Leathercraft Workshop

"Brilliant day learning about leather and how to craft it from a Master Craftsperson and excellent teacher. Really gentle teaching at my own pace and very much supporting self directed learning. I arrived full of questions and there was never a moment when I felt she was pushing me into just getting on with the task. Totally brilliant day. Thoroughly recommended."

Jason Hardiman reviewed: Leather apron workshop

"Another great day with Katherine she is an absolute superstar I really enjoyed my day. I was making an apron on this visit and was really chuffed with the result. I will be back because each time I learn more skills and gain more confidence. If you're wanting to learn a new skill with a very patient experienced tutor, I highly recommend you get it booked."

Adrian Rhodes reviewed: Leather apron workshop

"Just had a wonderful day making a leather apron with Catherine Edwards. It was well out of my comfort zone - but I had such a good time. Catherine is a warm and generous teacher, passionate about her craft and with a lifetime of experience to impart. She gently guided me from one small task to another, making sure I made my own apron whilst she demonstrated on another. I practiced many techniques - and some I even mastered! - till the end of the day came and I realised I held in my hand a beautiful and practical item of leatherwear - and I’d made it! Catherine never made me feel I was slow or clumsy - just that I was achieving something. She has a magic touch - not only as a craftsman, but as a teacher. Oh, and having a quiet lunch in delightful Hebden Bridge was lovely. Highly recommended."

Catherine Edwards Leather responded:

"Thankyou Adrian, you were marvellously easy to teach so it made my job very straightforward! Hope to see you again soon."

Liza Malby-Tynan reviewed: Introduction to Leatherwork

"This course was by far the best course I have ever done. Cathy was incredible - a fantastic teacher and so easygoing. She had already worked out how to make the item that I wanted to make, printed pictures and selected the right leather. She showed me all the techniques to make the item and I left with a very very beautiful thing. I can't recommend this course or Cathy enough. "

"We had a great day in the workshop with Cathy working on a couple of projects. We had little to no previous experience but Cathy took us through each step demonstrating a real range of techniques. A really relaxed pace to the day and the tea and chat flowed. Ended up with a stunning belt and also covered a lantern handle. Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks again."

"Thankyou so much Scott, you and your uncle were a joy to teach!"
