Reviews for Karmarell

A thoroughly enjoyable and informative day with Karen who is an excellent teacher. I loved the variety of processes and tools used in making a belt, and am delighted with the result.

This was a fantastic day. Karen was very knowledgable and very patient, I learned so much in one day. A very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The standard of instruction and quality of materials is very high. I came away at the end of the day having made a wonderful rolled dog collar. I highly recommend this course. I'll definitely be back in the future. Thank you so much Karen !

Fantastic course. The morning was full of fun, laughter and great chat. Learnt lots about traditional leather techniques as well as modern techniques. Came away with a lovely pink belt - very proud of my stitching. I am keen to return and try my hand at making something else. Karen was very knowledgable, patience and has great artistic ideas. Highly recommend.

Totally energised after a superb day learning really cool new leathercraft skills, using new tools I didn't know existed, meeting lovely people, being fed wonderful pancakes and soup and coming home with THE most expert looking valet tray. Wish I could have stayed with Karen for a week to learn more - a fabulous day that I'd highly recommend. I'll definitely be back in the future - Thank you so much Karen!

This was a fantastic day. I came away with a lovely leather belt made from scratch and even learn't how to stitch leather with two needles. Karen Ellis knows her craft and I learned so much in just one day. I recommend this course for anyone thinking of starting to work with leather or just for the experience of trying a new craft.
Great day, lovely cakes and a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

An excellent course run by Karen. I have never made anything in my life but came away at the end of the day having made a wonderful leather belt under Karen's expert tuition. I felt I had achieved so much.

Excellent course for beginners. Karen takes you through each of the steps for the production of your chosen item in a fun and informative way. The standard of instruction and quality of materials is very high. Very pleased with my belt. No hesitation in recommending this wonderful opportunity to learn new skills to others. Thanks to Karen for motivating me to do more leather work.

Had a lovely time crafting my valet tray under the expert guidence of Karen while enjoying the company of fellow crafters. Would thoroughly recommend attending a course or if you are looking for something different for a gift

I went to a half day course recently and decided to make a dog collar. I have no experience at all with leather work but I felt I really achieved something and went home with something I could be proud of! Small group and friendly atmosphere where you can learn a new and interesting skill.

I had a fabulous day making a rolled leather collar for Skye under the diligent eye of Karen at Karmarell. I would highly recommend this course whether you are crafty or not. Delighted with my collar. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this course! Fantastic teaching with a very light and friendly atmosphere. Karen is so patient and ensures that everyone has a fun and productive experience. I would recommend Karmarell’s courses to anyone looking to learn something new and have a great day!
