Alfonso reviewed: Introduction to Leather Craft

"This was one of the best workshops I've ever attended. I was completely new to leathework, and Bill patiently guided me through all the stages of the craft. Bill is extremely generous and willing to share all his knowledge with professionalism and a great sense of humour. I look forward to attending another workshop with Bill"

Louise reviewed: Introduction to Leather Craft

"I've just come back from a two-day Bespoke Leather workshop that was run by Bill Blaikie, we learnt so much, he is a wonderful teacher, obviously an expert at his craft and passionate about sharing his knowledge. I don't think there's anything he doesn't know about the subject from techniques through to design materials, suppliers, equipment, hints and tips. We asked so many questions and there wasn't one that he couldn't answer. His depth of knowledge is brilliant. Learning through demonstration and hands one experience was perfect. We walked away with a personalised piece that we had made which I was proud of. I would never have thought this possible when I arrived. I was moved to write the review because when I was looking for a leather course, I really took notice of the reviews that were written and so I thought I would add my feedback to help others. If you're thinking about learning or improving leather working skills I would 100% recommend Bill and his workshop we learnt so much, it was so rewarding and a real lot of fun. A great way to spend the weekend. Thank you so much Bill."

"Thanks Louise, I am glad you enjoyed it, as did I. You and Kevin were both wonderful students who made it easy. Keep up the good work I am sure you will build on the skills I taught you to great effect. Best wishes Bill"
