Matt reviewed: Leather working craft course in France in a beautiful workshop

"Wonderful course, set in the beautiful surroundings of the French countryside. I've been for the last couple of years, both beginner and advanced courses, I highly recommend. Jonatan is a great teacher, I worked mainly in veg tanned leather, learning to hand 'saddle' stitch; wallets, sunglasses cases and an amazing tool case. Accommodation in the beautiful manor house is included as well as spending time dining with fellow craftspeople, the photos don't do justice to how great the ancient workshop is. I will be returning!"

Clive reviewed: Leather working craft course in France in a beautiful workshop

"I did both the beginner and advanced courses earlier this year. Jonathan, who runs the course, lives, eats and breathes traditional leather working. He has a great amount of experience and starts right at the very beginning for those with little or no experience and adds on the various methods and techniques as your abilities develop. He is a great teacher and is very patient. It’s a really lovely setting in the heart of the Dordogne, with Jason and Kasia providing an environment that truly feels like a home from home as soon as you arrive. After a full day concentrating hard and learning new skills, the cosy living room with its huge fireplace is a lovely place to retire to and chat with the other students. The course represents amazing value for money and I highly recommend that anyone who has an interest in leather working takes a serious look at this option. I know you won’t be disappointed. I enjoyed it so much that I’ll be going back to do the advanced course again and learn more about wet moulding and box stitching."
