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.

Learn How to Use Leather Craft Tools With Real Guidance

You’ll learn to stitch, punch, and finish with professional tools like the awl and marking tools. We show you how to apply clean finishes, glue, and install hardware for strong, well-crafted seams. These are artisanal skills you’ll use again.

We introduce you to the leather tools and teach how to use them safely and effectively. This includes cutting, measuring, and assembling with clarity and purpose. You gain real, transferable expertise through action - not theory.
