Anna Forrest reviewed: Hand stitched leather laptop case

"I spent a very enjoyable morning in Rosanna’s studio making a laptop case. There was a choice of several different lovely colours of leather and thread, and Rosanna guided me step by step through the making process. Leather is a wonderful material to work with, and Rosanna gave me just the right level of guidance. I am really delighted with the quality of what I made. "

Clare Rix reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"Rosanna is a great teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed the day. The hardest part was choosing what to make and which colour type of leather to use! Rosanna is always on hard to offer advice and guidance. I am looking to go back to do another one hopefully a bag this time. "

Emma Heylen reviewed: Half day: 3 Leather Accessories

"We had a fantastic morning doing leather crafts. Learnt a lot about leather itself and were taught all the basic skills to make our own bits. Made a card holder and a luggage tag both which look great thanks to Rosanna’s guidance and very excited to use them! Would recommend. "

"Thank you so much for an interesting day. Rosanna was excellent at explaining, demonstrating and providing individual help when required. A day well spent for anyone interested in learning a new skill in relaxed surroundings. Good to come away having actually made practical items that you can be proud of. Many thanks PS. The dog is very sweet too"

Carolyn reviewed: Saddle bag in a day workshop

"I had a lovely day on Friday making a saddle handbag with Rosanna. Learning all the skills and the speedy sewing machine (which was a challenge) and great knowledge from Rosanna. The Smithbrook Kilns is a lovely place with a few workshops and a café to stop at for lunch. Thank you"

Rosanna Clare responded:

" So glad you enjoyed it Carolyn, thanks for your review. Hope to see you again soon, Regards, Rosanna"

Chris B reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"I had a lovely, relaxed day in the workshop learning a range of skills and creating 5 items that I’m really pleased with. Rosanna is a great teacher, the workshop is small but cosy and the steady pace of the day made it rather therapeutic (although I wasn’t exactly ‘relaxed’ when I started on the machine stitching for the first time!). There was great freedom in what to create and how you wanted it to look so everything I created feels personal. I’d highly recommend this or any of the courses Rosanna offers and may we’ll be back myself one day!"

Trudy Coughlan reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"Attended the full day leather craft workshop, together with my daughter. I wanted to use an old handbag to make other items (I made a phone bag and a tray) and my daughter made several small items. I had done the handbag making course a few years ago and really enjoyed it so this was an add-on and refresher from that. My daughter also enjoyed her day, learning new skills and using a sewing machine. Rosanna is very knowledgeable and helpful and we both came away wanting to do more!"

"Lovely day making my own saddle bag which was great fun and very therapeutic. Rosanna was a great teacher as I was new to leather craft and great to learn new skills."

Dave Jarvis reviewed: Dog collar & lead course

"Another excellent course on dog collar & lead that I've attended run by Rosanna. I can thoroughly recommend spending 3 hours doing this workshop. It's the first time I'd used the sewing machine for stitching and with some help from Rosanna going round the ends, I feel pretty confident of tacking more projects own my own using a machine. As always, Rosanna was very helpful and encouraging throughout the morning. I'm very proud off the collar & lead end result and looking forward to continuing this wonderful hobby. Thank you again Rosanna and sorry to have run a little over time with my hand stitching."

Jillian Deans reviewed: Two day leather bag making workshop

"Attended the two day bag making workshop with a friend and was very happy with the results. Despite being a bit daunted by using a sewing machine (I have very limited experience), Rosanna was very patient and helped guide me through the tricky bits such as turning corners and and sewing through multiple layers of leather and fabric. Was impressed with how well Rosanna was able to keep us both on track to complete in two days as we were making very different bags."

Armelle Lovegrove reviewed: Two day leather bag making workshop

"I really enjoyed the 2 day workshop that I completed with my friend last week-end. I had never made a leather bag before and I learnt a lot about the construction and design of the bag. It was stimulating and exciting. We worked hard on both days and what a result! I have received so many compliments for the bag that I made with you and I am really proud of what I have achieved. Thank you so much for your patience, sorry for blunting your blades :)"

Dave Jarvis reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"Hi Rosanna, I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful and interesting one day workshop that I attended on Wednesday (19th May). I'm really pleased with what I achieved with the four items that I made and it's certainly spurred me on to do more things and try out new ideas. Your advice on the day was invaluable and I look forward to maybe attending another course in the near future. Thanks again for being the perfect host and for tolerating the celebrity banter!? Best regards, Dave"
