Workshop Structure -
This workshop runs for 3 consecutive days from 10am to 4pm, with a 1-hour lunch break.
Day 1 -
You will embark on your leathercraft journey by choosing your pattern and selecting your leathers from our fantastic range. This day will focus on cutting your shoes, constructing the uppers and preparing for lasting. Your patterns will be prepared for you.
Day 2 -
Day two will see you finish off the construction of your uppers before beginning the lasting process! You will learn about exactly what goes into shoe making and how to build the layers.

The Wolf Workshop

The Wolf Workshop is an artisan leatherwork studio in Leigh, England. Owned and run by Pipa, the workshop was born from the love of craft and sharing knowledge.
Pipa is an award winning, internationally travelling cosplayer with a background in Fine Art and a bachelors degree in Game Design. She was the Social Media Manager and UK Demonstrator for Tandy Leather before the store closure and subsequent redundancy.
Within her lifestyle of crafting, Pipa began making handmade leather goods for family and friends during the Christmas period. She posted photos of her pieces online, and from there The Wolf Workshop was formed.
The Wolf Workshop was built on passion and love, and that foundation is the core of the studio. Creating artisan leather goods made with care and heart, each piece being unique to the customer. But that belief shouldn't just be held to us, we want to share our knowledge and heart-felt love of craft with anyone who wishes to learn. We invite everyone to our classes, using our beautiful workshop space to create something incredible.
