Leather Belt Workshop

I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. I am delighted with my clutch bag. The experience was totally delightful and I will be going to another one, once they are up and running again. I learnt so much from Tracey - an excellent teacher. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this craft workshop. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with participants being encouraged to choose their own materials and their own style for the apron. The emphasis was on what you intended to use the apron for rather than follow a pattern and turn out an item the same as everyone else's.
I know I learned up a few techniques that I will use again. In fact I suspect I will be booking this or a similar workshop again. I particularly enjoyed the stitching. Very satisfying!

Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable day. Tracy has a wealth o knowledge and is a great teacher. Really pleased with my leather apron.

What a fantastic day and I’m so thrilled with my Leather Apron. The studio space is beautiful and the array of leather to choose from was brilliant. Tracy took time to demonstrate then was at hand while we were set loose to make. Tracy is an excellent teacher and it was wonderful see so much of her own beautiful work on display I am always interested in trying new ways to make and I think I may be hooked!

What a great day. Doesn't matter if you have never done anything like this before or got a few skills. By the end of this course you will come away so proud that you have made something yourself and learn some new skills. Tracy is a great teacher. I'd highly recommended the courses to anyone.

What a fantastic day!

Had a brilliant day learning all about leather and the stages of cutting, preparing, sewing, finishing etc and came home with a fabulous bag incorporating some of the goat skin from one of my own hides. Highly recommend. Tracy is a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher and happily shares her skills and knowledge. Will definitely be going again. Thank you.

A most enjoyable course and fun. Came home with a lovely belt everything provided even homemade cake. Great idea for birthdays or Christmas presents vouchers available something a little different. I really enjoyed it.

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 had a lovely time on Tracy's course and having played around with small projects at home using leather offcuts, it was great be tutored by someone with experience so I could learn and apply the basics skills properly.
The courses are held in a beautifully restored barn and you receive an apron and your own little tool kit for the duration. Tracy was friendly, professional and practical, taking us through every step of the make with great patience. We enjoyed a warm drink and a chat afterwards which is always a nice part of working together. I highly recommend booking an experience with her.

I had a very enjoyable evening learning to do leatherwork with friends under Tracy's expert guidance. Everything needed was provided, and all explained brilliantly. I left feeling very accomplished and looking forward to doing more!
Highly recommended for learning a new craft, making useful items and also for spending a fun few hours with a group of friends.

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!
