Maker's bio

My designs are mainly influenced by geometric shapes and Art Deco design. I've built up a wide range of skills and now have the luxury of time and space to make my own products and to experiment with techniques and styles. Ultimately though, I love passing on my passion for leather craft to other people by running a series of workshops. I cater for both individuals with 1 to 1 tuition and groups at my Essex studio or larger groups at other venues so email me if you'd like more information.

Esme reviewed: Rucksack in a day workshop

"I had a great time doing this workshop, and am so pleased with the finished product. I didn’t have any previous experience working with leather and only very minimal sewing experience but Rosanna was on hand to help at every stage. The workshop is a busy day, with lots to learn and lots of different steps, but it was so satisfying to see the bag coming together and go home with the finished article. For anyone who wants to do a course where you can enjoy the process but also take home something you can actually use everyday, I would really recommend this course. "

Rosanna Clare responded:

"Thank you Esme for your lovely review - so gla dyou enjoyed the day - I hope you enjoy using your rucksack!"

Henry Buckeldee reviewed: Belt Making Workshop

"I attended the half day leather belt course. Excellent tutor who explained all the tools and techniques and more. Was presented with choice after choice. What colour leather, stitching, rivets or stitching. I supplied my own buckle which I have made into a lovely new belt. I have faith this will last a lot longer than the modern bonded leather ones you buy. Also embossed my initials. Got me thinking about what else I could make in leather. I bought her book, which explains all the tools and techniques. And also a list of leather suppliers. An eye opener of a course. Thank you. "

Steph H reviewed: Full day leather craft workshop

"A thoroughly enjoyable day with excellent tuition. Very pleased with the usefulness of the content and appropriate level of information about working with leather in general. Would highly recommend as a starter or taster course. Very pleased with the items I made and has inspired me to make a few inexpensive tool purchases to make more items. Very good value for money. "
