Maker's bio

The Kingsley Walters brand was founded in 2015. Initially begun as a hobby - making small items for myself and friends - it soon turned into a business, as I began to receive bespoke orders by word of mouth. Making further investment in traditional saddlery tools, I have been able to create small capsule collections, as well as lead workshops on leather craftsmanship.

Martin W reviewed: Traditional Leather Workshop (small leather goods)

"Had a terrifically informative, inspiring and creative day. My day job is all copy/paste and 3D printing, so it's nice to get hands on with real materials, and with Kingsley’s expert guidance try out some new skills. I made a small wallet, and have so much more appreciation of the skill that goes into leatherwork. My main goal was to learn what's possible and be inspired for ideas that I can create or commission on the future, and this workshop was perfect for that."

David reviewed: Traditional Leather Workshop (small leather goods)

"After forging a knife, makimg the handle and knife pins, I needed to finish it off with a sheath! I'll be honest, I was worried bringing a knife to a leather making course would be frowned upon, but Kingsley was incredibly understanding and welcoming. I was fortunate to have a 1-on-1 session, as the workshop had only recently relocated, which gave us time to talk. Kingsley is not only knowledgeable but had more than enough skill to put even my mistakes right. I highly recommend this course, whether you are a complete novice, like I am, or a seasoned hobbyist. Thanks for the amazing day."

"Had a great few hours with Kingsley, he was very informative and easy to learn from. I was the only person he had in that day so I had his undivided attention. He helped me with areas I was struggling on I felt more confident by the end of the session. I would thoroughly recommend Kingsley."

"Had a great time with Kingsley making a belt and a card wallet. Went as a couple and he provided guidance, materials and hands-on help for the less talented! A fun thing to do and a nice place to do it in. Would recommend."
