I only attended 1 day of the workshop but it's a lifetime of an amazing experience. Thank you for your patience, guidance and care during class. The team working behind the scenes does great work in preparing for the workshop too. Our packs had all we needed for our craft projects.

Happy to say I stitched my own leather backpack. Thanks Lourens and Marinda for sharing your knowledge.
