Maker's bio

During training at Cordwainers, London College of Fashion in 2010 I learnt how to design, make and manufacture bags professionally. Following a varied career in Accessories design and development across many roles and international brands I set up Hands of Tym in 2016. The courses I offer are suitable for all, from experienced to total novice. Come along to learn something new, and design and make your own leather bag in a day.

Tobyn H reviewed: 'Wallet in a Day' Practical Hand Stitching Leather Course - The Slim Card Wallet

"The wallet in a day experience was fantastic. Georgie was a great teacher, not only in helping us throughout the day to make our wallets, but also in answering all our general leather and craft questions, which showed how talented and knowledgeable she is! The wallets we all made looked fantastic. I made a tiny mistake at one point but Georgie was able to help me correct it so that it is completely unnoticeable in the final piece, and doesn't affect it at all. The overall day was 10/10 and I'm already considering a future course or trying some leather crafts at home."

Sally reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Tote Bag

"A really fabulous course. Georgie is a great teacher and an awful lot gets done in a very quiet, unflustered environment. Really enjoyed the day and I will return to learn some more skills."

Jessica E reviewed: 1-2-1 Practical Leather Tuition & Consultancy with Georgie Tym

"Hello, I recently booked a half a day session with Georgie and I really recommend her as a tutor. She is very knowledgable and has great past experiences, which is clearly shown in her teaching. Her pattern cutting knowledge is very advanced and she knows her craft really well. You will be in good hands when learning from Georgie, all my lessons with her so far have been informative and easy to follow. I can't recommend enough, thank you! "

Hands of Tym responded:

"Thank you for your kind words Jess and thanks for being an excellent student with bundles of motivation! Best wishes, Georgie"

Charlie reviewed: 1-2-1 Practical Leather Tuition & Consultancy with Georgie Tym

"I recently had a one to one tuition day with Georgie and highly recommend the experience. Georgie was a great teacher providing the perfect balance between teaching me new concepts and guiding me, with allowing me freedom with my own ideas. Whatever your experience, Georgie tailors the day to help you achieve your personal goals. I will definitely be going back."
