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."

"This was a fantastic one day tote bag making course with Georgie, the excellent, patient, friendly and encouraging tutor. We were able to choose which leather we wanted to use, the length of the straps and how to personalise our bag. And there was a lovely lunch and tasty snacks throughout the day. I love my new bag! It is a wonderful design of Georgie’s and looks very professional. My friends and family are well impressed, as am I! Highly recommended!"

"I've lost count of the amount of bags I have made with Georgie but the day I spent with her last week has got to the best so far! I used the pattern that we had made for previous bags but this time in gorgeous suede. Georgie was so helpful, as always, and I am so so pleased with the end result. I am already trying to find time in my diary to book another day. Don't hesitate to book with Georgie - you won't be disappointed. "

"I had a wonderful day making a bucket bag with Georgie. I had no experience at all beforehand and no idea what to expect; but from choosing the leather, to the completion of the bag, I loved absolutely every minute in her workshop. Georgie was very welcoming and friendly, she was very patient and knowledgeable, showing us every little step throughout the day. I have been using the bag ever since, it’s been a great talking point with family and friends. The more I wear it, the more I’m in love with it. I would recommend Georgie’s workshop to everyone and I’m sure I will be back for another course. Thank you Georgie!"

"Georgie, Thank you for a very enjoyable day making the rucksack. I learnt a lot about leatherwork, I even learnt to use a sewing machine. I found your design skills impressive, what seemed like a collection of bits of leather turned into a super rucksack. Your workshop is large and comfortable, with drinks and food a plenty. I do hope to visit you again. Once again, thank you. ChrisN"

Sheela Vishwanath reviewed: Pattern Cutting for Bags and Introduction to Leather craft - Designing Bags in 3D (1 week course)

""The 1-week Pattern Cutting for Bags and Introduction to Leather Craft course was an incredible experience! It gave me an understanding of designing bags, especially working in 3D. The hands-on approach made everything easy to understand, and I left feeling confident in my ability to bring my ideas to life. With the techniques I learned for cutting patterns and working with leather I am looking forward to putting them to use very soon and design my own bag patterns. A special mention to Georgie’s vast knowledge and experience, and her patience as a teacher. She is encouraging and ensuring that we understood the concepts correctly. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to pattern bags. It is definitely a worthwhile investment to time and money. "
