Recent reviews of Leatherwork Class: Make a Bag in One Day

  • 5/5 from Joan Bowen, attended Jan 2026: One of the most fascinating, educational and engrossing days I have ever enjoyed …just for me. The epitome of mindfulness I was so captivated and industrious from start to finish.. my worries and outside life were totally forgotten which was bliss. Such a beautiful workshop with a delightful plus hugely talented facilitator. It was the perfect balance of inspiring whilst still doable and the bag I made is surprisingly decent for a first attempt at leather working. Excellent music and regular coffee, a supportive, coaching tutor who directed without doing for us. Also ai got to meet 3 other warm like minded individuals who were so lovely to share the time with. I will be back for the 2 day as definitely have the bug now… also my Mum will get a lovely little handmade bag for her birthday next week which I am proud to say she has will love and use xx Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Jane Murdoch, attended Dec 2023: We had a great day hosted by the wonderful melissa. We managed to make 3 great bags with and learnt about leather crafts giving us inspiration for future projects. Could not recommend enough and suitable for all abilities.

We founded The London Leather Workshop in 2012, bringing together our backgrounds in fashion, accessories and leather goods as Italian design graduates. Over the years, our passion for making grew into a South East London studio where design, prototyping, product development and craftsmanship come together. Sara leads the teaching, drawing on specialist training in fashion and bag making in Rome, Milan and Florence, while Melissa brings deep experience in sourcing, materials and studio operations.
What we love most about teaching is helping people discover that leathercraft is something they can genuinely learn and enjoy with the right guidance. Our workshops are taught in small groups in a real working studio, so students receive individual attention, learn professional techniques and leave with a finished piece they can feel proud of.
Over the past ten years, we have taught students from around the world and shared our knowledge through workshops, one-to-one training and wider community work. We love creating a space that feels welcoming, practical and inspiring, whether someone joins as a complete beginner, a curious maker or an aspiring professional.
