The workshop making and designing leather sneakers was amazing and I didn't want it to end! Eli was patient, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She guided me through each process, explaining the do's and don'ts. Eli kept an eye on me and when I missed a stitch she immediately pointed it out, so that I wouldn't have to undo lots of hand stitching. I took a packed lunch which allowed me more time to continue working on my sneakers. Eli helped me coordinate which colours and types of leather would work best. Fortunately I was the only person at the workshop on the 2 days I attended, so I felt blessed to have her undivided attention. Thank you Eli for helping me produce my unique sneakers! My family and friends were amazed that they looked professional and some thought they were shop bought!

Awesome 5 Star Leather Sneakers!

Friendly, easy going and I made a purse
Lilly was an amazing host. Very nice, easy to talk to, and thoughtful. She was very encouraging on how I was doing with my purse design and made suggestions.

An amazing day, I made something great and feel confident in new skills!
I have an awesome day! I wanted a day to make something great and I certainly did. Eli is a lovely, passionate and skilled person who not only showed me how to work with leather but made sure I used those skills straight away. I made a leather heart shaped backpack and I adore it. I am definitely plotting when I can return. I am so pleased with what I made, I couldn’t help but take photos on the way home! On a practical note, the studio is super close to the train station so was super easy to get to.

Crafty afternoons
I had a lovely few days working with Eli to make a backpack and pair of trainers. She clearly has a lot of experience and was able to guide me to get creative and make a finished product I am very proud of. I would definitely recommend if you are looking to have a chilled afternoon chatting and getting crafty

Design your own Handbag or trainers. Something to suit everyone!
My friend booked this for my Christmas present. She’s creative and I’m not, but this didn’t matter. Eli is a great teacher and host. You get to come away with something personal that you can also use. Fabulous experience, especially if you’re looking for a president that awkward friend and you get to spend quality time together!
