I thoroughly enjoyed this class and the guidance given by Gary. The amount of detail he went into and stories he told made the session with me and a couple of others so much fun. Also the place it was held was absolutely love. I'd definitely recommend this session. I will be making more pouches!

I made a change purse out of lovely thick black leather and I was guided through the process step by step by the teacher Gary. The group was a good size and Gary was very organised, helpful and friendly. I really enjoyed learning a new skill, from cutting the leather to the right shape to stitching it together using a bright red thread. I love my purse and enjoyed taking part in the workshop.

Garry is a very enthusiastic and patient teacher (which was important in my case). A really nice end product is readily achievable and it was very interesting to learn the dark arts of the leatherworker. Highly recommended!
