Leather Belt Workshop
About the Course
In a relaxed and friendly setting enjoy 4 hours of fun, practical and informative learning making your own leather belt. In a small group of up to 4 students you'll learn the basics of leatherwork, all about the materials and tools, cutting and preparing natural vegetable tanned leather, and traditional hand stitching techniques, as well as fixing hardware. You'll have the opportunity to personalise your belt with hand stamped detail, and you'll go home with a beautiful unique handmade item.
Tea and homemade cake is provided to keep your energy and creative levels up, and all materials are included in the price. All hardware, and a choice of natural vegetable tanned leather in a range of colours. Each leather hide is individually selected for its beautiful natural qualities, complete with hallmarks, scars and markings from the tanning process - a testament to the natural origin of the hide.
Covid Update - The studio is light and airy with good natural ventilation, and the leather working bench is large enough to fit 4 students comfortably within the social distancing guidelines. Handwashing and sanitiser facilities on entry. Each student will have their own set of tools which will be sanitised before and after every workshop and further sanitising measures will be taken throughout. I want to make sure everyone feels comfortable with our Covid procedures, so if you have any queries please ask.

Great day, family really enjoyed themselves. Tracy really knows her stuff and had us all learning and having fun- highly recommend
A great workshop run by Tracy, who has an abundance of knowledge and experience working with leather, and she took time to demonstrate and instruct to the group. I was really pleased with the bespoke apron I made, and will definitely book onto another course in the future.
Thanks Tracy! :)
Great activity day. Loads of different grades and colours of leather to choose from. Had a lovely time time meeting other people and home made cake was a nice touch.
What can I say, from the minute you walk into the delightful studio and inhale the delicious leathery smells you feel relaxed and right at home.
Tracy is very knowledgeable and an excellent teacher. The course is taught in a small group so you get as much help and support as you need.
All the materials and equipment are provided so there are no hidden extras once you arrive.
Top Tip: Take your purse and have a look at the discount rail whilst you’re there. Some real bargains can be found 😊
Excellent setting and teacher. I was a complete novice who had never stitched anything or made anything from leather and was thrilled to have designed and made a great functional apron. Great cake as well!:)
I booked this course as it seemed to include all the main skills required to start working with leather. I was not disappointed. Tracey let the student do everything themselves, nothing is pre prepared so you really do do everything yourself from choosing from a selection of hides, measuring, cutting, drawing, gluing, stitching, riveting and edging. It was a full day and I loved every minute. Tracey helped if you wanted, left you to work if you wanted, but always noticed if I was doing something wrong or needed help. The workshop is lovely and I had a really fab day. I love my apron too!!
A fantastic workshop and has resulted in creating a bespoke apron that I am very proud of and I can't stop showing to everyone - even if they haven't asked to see it!!
The day is very relaxed and the instructions and demonstrations are very clear and if any help is required nothing is too much trouble.
The materials are fantastic quality and the range of leather is huge - the hardest bit is choosing which leather you want to use.
I will definitely be booking onto some other courses this year - think it may become a bit addictive!
