What to expect

In the beginning of this unique workshop, I will welcome you to my beautiful and cozy leather workplace. With a coffee/tea in your hand, I will explain to you the steps that we will go through in the workshop. I will also show you the tools and materials that you will be using during the making process. You will have the opportunity to choose the (genuine) leather piece that you like from my little “leather market”, with a wide range of colors and various thicknesses. When you chose your piece, we will work together step by step, where I will always keep an eye on your project and help you when needed, to assure that the bag making is done professionally. At the end of the workshop you will have the opportunity to personalize your piece by different engraving options, how special is that! This unique workshop gives you the chance to learn the basics of leathercrafting in a very accessible and fun manner/environment. And the most amazing part: you will take your own, handmade leather bag home! NOTE: - If the timetable doesn’t work for you, message me and we’ll come up with something that does. - We also have vegan leather!
