Recent reviews of Leather Crafting Workshop: Create a Glasses Case
5/5 from Michael Hellinikakis, attended Jul 2026: From start to finish, Naoum was professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The size of the classes are small so you're able to get help when you need it, and I had very little downtime between tasks. He provided all the tools, materials (a very wide range to choose from!) and even refreshments, which were most appreciated! If you need to park, King's Orch is nearby and offers metered parking. I would highly recommend his classes if you're interested in trying leatherworking for the first time.
5/5 from Laura Collins, attended May 2026: Had a great time at the leather making course. Naoum was very knowledgeable. Relaxed atmosphere, really enjoyed the afternoon. Would highly recommend.
5/5 from Bethany Warren, attended Feb 2026: A very fun class! Naoum was a patient teacher and happy to repeat instructions or give additional explanations whenever necessary. The final product (a glasses case) came out very well and I would consider returning to make one of the other items.
5/5 from Erica Theis, attended Jan 2026: Two things really stood out about this class. One is Naoum’s natural talent as a teacher. He has endless patience and seems to really enjoy helping his students. All questions are met with detailed breakdowns of process, materials and technique. Two is the small class size which allows for each student to work at their own pace and no one is left behind. I did this class with 2 other complete beginners and everyone’s pieces came out looking great!
5/5 from Andalucia Evans Theodore, attended Oct 2025: Amazing workshop - stunning leather pieces. Naoum was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and hospitable as well as a very good teacher! Loved learning leatherwork especially saddle stitching and edge burnishing.
Hi there! I’m Naoum, and I’m so excited to share the joy of leather crafting with you.I first picked up leatherworking during the Covid lockdown, and it didn’t take long before I was hooked. Back home in Aleppo, I was always into crafts, especially through my scout group, and teaching others how to make things brought me so much happiness. When I moved to London, I wanted to recreate that magic, and leather crafting was the perfect fit for a small space and big creativity.In my workshops, you’ll make your own one-of-a-kind leather item. I’ll provide everything, tools, materials, and guidance, and you’ll get to add your own personal touches, like embossing. Whether it’s your first time crafting or you’re already handy, we’ll have a great time creating together.Let’s make something beautiful and have some fun while we’re at it!
