Maker's bio

I’m Rikki (she/her), the maker behind Harewood Handicrafts. I’ve brought my passion for creativity into the adult world after a decade of teaching Design and Technology in secondary schools, so I'm confident I can guide you through with compassion and fun! When I’m not teaching or in the studio, I’m also navigating life as a new mum to a daughter (born Jan 2025) who is always full of beans; which makes those moments of calm and creativity even more meaningful to me. I specialise in working with leather and wood, two timeless materials that invite you to slow down, use your hands, and create something beautiful and lasting. Whether you come with friends, family, or just yourself, I’ll make sure you leave not only with your own handcrafted piece, but with the pride of knowing you made it! Please check out my socials to follow along on my journey.

Charlotte reviewed: Make Your Own Leather Earrings Craft Workshop

"This was a wonderful experience that my mum and I enjoyed thoroughly. We were taught how to make three pairs of earrings using a variety of different tools. We had such a laugh and I genuinely can't fault Rikki's ability to teach even the most creatively challenges. I will definitely be going again, it would be such a good girls day activity, or even for a mini hen do!!"

Harewood Handicrafts responded:

"Thanks so much, Charlotte 😄 I'm so glad you had a great experience and I adored the flourishes you added to make your pairs special and one-of-a-kind. I would love to have you come again - hopefully for the next venture I'm working on! "

Lesley-Ann Lee reviewed: Make Your Own Leather Earrings Craft Workshop

"A most enjoyable learning opportunity. Rikki was very friendly and great at coaxing our own ideas out of us. The experience of creating something yourself felt amazing. The use of all equipment was explained very well. I particularly liked the fact that the materials were recycled and waste was at a minimum. Thank you Rikki I hope you succeed in this new venture. "

Harewood Handicrafts responded:

"Thank you so much Lesley! You and Lyn were a delight to teach and I loved the touches you added to make each pair your own! Enjoy them ❤️"
