I thoroughly enjoyed the leather making class. Garry is a superb teacher - very patient and calm and I came home with a lovely bespoke leather card holder. Highly recommended.
Garry was an awesome teacher, really went the extra mile to make sure we all had a great session. Would highly recommend.
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!
Fantastic class - the teacher was friendly and approachable and made me feel relaxed and involved in the class.
I met some great people and learnt a new skill.
The teacher was extremely supportive and engaging, I highly recommend this class.
What a fun and friendly evening at the Rye Hide leather artisan workshop at Space@61! A total novice, within two hours I had made my own leather cardholder. We learnt the basics, from scoring and cutting the leather to stitching techniques – and that the metal fastening is called a Sam Browne!
Garry is a great teacher – enthusiastic, patient and helpful. The venue was bright and clean with plenty of space. I look forward to signing up for another workshop. A belt next time, I think.

I attended the Rye Hide cardholder workshop at Space@61 in Nunhead back in March.
Had a really lovely fun, relaxing two hours of learning leather working techniques; cutting, marking, hole punching, sewing - with double needles - and finally came out with a cute card holder.
Garry is a very good teacher. Calm, uncritical, patient and very clear with instructions. Would def go again.

I really enjoyed the Ryehide leather workshop. It was a chilled out space and it felt very communal with everyone gathered round the table swapping tools and advice. Garry was great - calm, patient and encouraging. The quality of the materials was excellent and I got quite distracted by all the lovely accessories! It was a relaxed way to spend a few hours and I’d thoroughly recommend it.
I made a cardholder under the wonderful supervision of Rye Hide London during an evening workshop at Space@61. Everything was carefully (and patiently) explained, I was given help when I needed it and the two hours flew by. I learnt a new skill and now have a very handy leather pouch. Highly recommend.
