Really enjoyed the one to one teaching with Kingsley via Zoom. It was a great intro to leather work and I learnt a lot.
Kingsley is my new leatherworking guru. If you want to learn about working with leather, I can't imagine anyone better as a tutor. Kingsley is patient and extremely knowledgeable. Top marks.

I thoroughly enjoyed my one day workshop with Kingsley! He took me through all the skills needed to produce my bag, encouraged me to think creatively and gave me so much useful information. Not only do I feel like I learnt a lot, it was great fun too. Now to start a few simple projects by myself...!
I had a brilliant time at the Small Leather Goods workshop with Kingsley. He's extremely knowledgeable, a brilliant teacher, is friendly and patient. My friend and I had a lot of individual attention and are now inspired to start more leather work. Highly recommended - thank you so much!
Absolutely loved the leather accessories workshop. Kingsley you are truly inspiring.
Thank you for all the little gems of knowledge.
I had an excellent day learning from Kingsley, he is very knowledgeable and knows how to explain techniques in an easy-to-understand way. I'm so happy with the outcome of my wallet and have used it everyday since. He also gives you advice on where to buy tools and leathers if you want to continue with the leather craft hobby. 10/10 would highly recommend!
Just completed the one day bag course and have to say it's one of the best crafting type courses I have done. Kingsley is a great teacher and does an amazing job relaying information and taking you through the process step by step from beginning to end.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this course to anyone interested in leather craft.

Best course I have ever done. Kingsley is an amazing teacher with an incredibly laid back and approachable attitude. Learnt so much doing his course and had a great time, I was even blown away by the final product!
Couldn't recommend this more to anyone wanting to do a weekend course where you learn a new skill and make something to keep. So rewarding, amazing teacher and such a great way to keep a traditional craft alive!
Kingsley was absolutely amazing. Considering I have been to uni and studied design, I have never understood instructions so easily! He has such a great way of teaching, so easy to understand, and he’s great fun- he makes you feel so at ease and comfortable. I can’t wait to come back and make more pieces!
Thank you for everything Kingsley, I will be using everything you taught me!!
This was a fantastic workshop- having known nothing when I arrived I walked away with a beautiful leather bag as well as the knowledge of the necessary skills of how to make it again.
Kingsley is a great teacher and was patient when I wasn't sure what to do. What is better is that he encourages you to develop your own idea of what the product could be so you are more involved with the piece, rather than just making a generic bag that is the same as all the others. The workshop was only me and one other. Thank you!!
I had a great day with Kingsley making my very own belt. He listened to my ideas and we were able to incorporate most of them in the design. I enjoyed being creative and learning a new skill. Would definitely recommend!
Had a wonderful time, Kingsley was an excellent teacher, explaining technique and reason behind it, he made you feel totally at ease and was very friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend his classes. Thank you Kingsley for an amazing day.
What a fantastic day! Kingsley was an excellent, patient, knowledgeable tutor, who felt more like a friend. He was eager to share his passion and tips. I learnt so much and came away buzzing with ideas for my next project. If you are looking for a really enjoyable course where you will learn so much, look no further.
Thank you so much Kingsley. I'll be back!!!

Kingsley was incredibly informative, adaptable, patient and fun. He was insightful and helpful with all of my questions and thoroughly explained what we were doing and what it would achieve. I found him very supportive as a teacher which was helpful when learning so many new skills and was happy to share all of his knowledge.
The workshop taught me a lot more than I expected in regards to working with leather and I would happily recommend anyone interested in learning more and experiencing leather work to do so from Kingsley. It was a pleasure!
Kingsley was an amazing workshop facilitator! I wasn't very confident and a bit shy at first but Kingsley was very reassuring and provided a friendly and relaxed environment. I was so pleased with my bag, I surprised myself with skills I never knew I had! Thanks Kingsley! :)
I had the most amazing day making a card wallet for my husband on this course. Kingsley was so friendly and knowledgable, and clearly so passionate about his work. I fell in love with leathercraft completely and am so grateful to him for taking so much time to explain each tool to me and how things have been constructed. It's great to have such small classes (I was extremely lucky and had a 1-on-1 session!) because so many other courses pack in the students and you just dont get the same learning experience as I did with Kingsley. Without question, I will be back to learn more - it's such an amazing feeling holding something that you made from scratch! Thank you so much.
Kingsley provides a high level of knowledge and opportunity to explore and create a piece full of character and the beginning of a story for you, the materials are high quality too. The only problem is....you want to do more!!!
I am already thinking about the next bag I want to do!
You will find in Kingsley a patient, knowledgeable and lovely tutor while crafting your own bag. Generous, he can provide many craft tricks you could learn as well, if you work already in your own craft, along with great conversation and a nice cup of tea! I am in love with my bag!
It’s really rewarding getting to use my new leather wallet every day and admiring it. I am very happy that I did the class and learning this skill was fun and exciting for me.
Kingsley helped me feel comfortable with his positivity and encouragement. With 2 other people in my group it meant we had enough support and time to ask questions but could also look at each others work and learn different skills.
The location was awesome. We had a break and went to Brick Lane Market around the corner.It is located in a shop with great coffee and a very cool set up.
Would highly recommend.
