Naoum is an amazing instructor, fun, friendly and easygoing. He made sure everyone had enough support and guidance and was running around to the whole time to help each person. It was a small class with only 3 people, yet the amount of work and preparation he did to make everyone comfortable was above + more

Naoumi delivered an excellent performance in his leather workshop. So knowledgeable and very talented. I made a collar which I’m very proud of, thanks to a great teacher & craftsman. His studio, it’s warm and cosy in a nice setting. Light refreshments were also offered. I liked his wealth of knowledge + more

Jacqui Murphy

Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with Naoum, being taken through the stages of cutting, punching, stitching and finishing to create a cute little card pouch. Naoum created such a warm and friendly environment and gave excellent advice and guidance. The afternoon whizzed by!

Susanna Skinner

Loved the class, Naoum is such a lovely host and will definitely look at what else we could make in the future with him!

Carla Guarin

Second class with Naoum and just as fun and rewarding as the first time. I made the glasses case and loved that it was a slightly different experience than making the card holder as I learned a few more skills and practiced one I learned last time. As before, highly recommend!!

Angela Young

Carine Epardaud

The teacher is great, he is clearly passionate by what he does and by transmitting his knowledge to others. It was a delight to be there. He has made the process very easy and explains very well, so people can come with zero knowledge and still go back home with a beautiful leather item.

Ellen Ashford

Such a great class and host. He was very helpful, witty and informative without being overbearing. Food and drink were also provided which was a lovely addition. We have each gone home with an amazing dog collar that will last for years to come. There were tons of colours to choose from. We would + more

I would definitely go back for other courses. I gained a lot of new skills. My next course would be the shoe making course. + more

Dean Bodenham

Amazing workshop! Naoum is the perfect teacher: knowledgeable and passionate about his craft, and kind and patient with his students. I was a complete beginner at leatherwork, and am not the best at arts and crafts, but each step was first clearly demonstrated and explained before I proceeded on my own. + more

What a nice experience it was to work with leather and create our own belt and glasses case under the supervision of Naoum! I got this class as a gift for my boyfriend's birthday, and he had the time of his life creating the belt of his dreams - it has now become his favourite belt! Naoum was extremely + more

We had an absolutely lovely day with Naoum making dog collars. Naoum was a very patient, personable teacher and was very generous with his time and also his delicious refreshments!!

It was an incredible experience, we learned how to make beautiful leather card holder! I sincerly recommend.

Michael Hellinikakis

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, + more

Naoum delivered a fantastic workshop. The tools and materials are clearly of high quality and he has a passion for the craft which really comes through. He was very hospitable, providing lovely snacks and drinks. Highly recommended.

Fantastic workshop, Naoum is a great teacher and host. There was so much choice for the leathers and they were all high quality.

Harith Aldeghather

This was a fantastic class! Naoum was a very clear, patient and thoughtful teacher, and is wonderfully generous as a host, and with his time. With his guidance and materials, I was able to make a small purse/wallet. Naoum layed out all the steps clearly and gave me scrap materials to practice each of + more

Sara Stachelhaus

Naoum is amazing! If you think you’re too impatient & too clumsy to register for a leather workshop, DONT LET THIS STOP YOU. I would have regrets, but instead I have a really cool, high quality leather belt that i doubt anyone will recognize as created by my clumsy hands. Go for it!

Tiara Daring

Amazing class! I would love to come again to another class when i visit again. He is patience, welcoming, knowledgeably, etc. Above & beyond! There is tea, coffee, wine, treats. Don't miss out. Great teacher, will do it again.

There was a wide range of products to choose from, and the quality of the leather was excellent. Naoum even provided some snacks, ensuring everyone had plenty of energy to create + more

David Charles

This leather workshop was genuinely one of the best things I've done in YEARS. Naoum is an outstanding teacher - I'm not crafty at all and over the course of this relaxed workshop he helped me make a gorgeous goat's leather wallet that has instantly become my most beloved and precious possession. I feel + more

Naoum was a prepared and patient teacher who took great pains to make sure that the available projects were easy for a beginner to tackle. I very much enjoyed my class!

Bill Urquhart

Fantastic belt making workshop. Naoum is a pro, extremely welcoming, and a brilliant tutor. He provided a litany of options for how my belt could come together, and I’m incredibly proud to show off what I managed to create. 100% recommend to anyone even vaguely interested in this. And please, someone, make the sandals!

Jasmine Choi

The entire experience is amazing. Naomn (hope I didn’t mispell his name!) is patient and clear, very accommodating and friendly! He offered tea / coffee / fruits / parties / wine and even wine from his own country! I thoroughly enjoy the experience, happy with the cardholder I made, and will unreservedly recommend it.

Liwen Knight-Zhang

I really enjoyed the class with Naoum. He was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, and it felt more like hanging out with a friend than sitting in a workshop. It was my first time working with leather, and being able to try the craft hands-on under a teacher's supervision was both encouraging and incredibly + more

Kelly Jefferson

We LOVED our workshop with Naoum on Saturday! Our group decided to make passport holders (X3) and a card holder- we all had different competences and Naoum was a very patient and helpful teacher. We enjoyed choosing our different colour leathers, thread and choice of embossing because our end products + more

Very good teacher, knows the subject, could explain and answer all my questions. I put together a purse and it was very good experience. I have learnt how and when to use each tool and smal tricks around how to make things easier. Awsome atmosphere good fun and very goot time. 5 out of 5.

A wonderful leather workshop! Naoum is a great teacher, explains clearly every step and gives encouragement, all in a welcoming space. I couldn’t be happier with my glasses case!

Emily Cross

An amazing experience start to finish. My friend and I made a leather belt this class. Naoum is a lovely and patient person, nothing is too much trouble - he even helped clean up my other belt and protected it for me! Naoum also provided us food and drinks (wine!). Honestly book his class if you want + more

T Dunn

Really enjoyable class - Naoum is a great teacher (and a very generous host!). Already thinking about coming back to make something else!

Marco Jones

He was the only teacher brave enough to take on my ambitious request (holster), and he is a top notch instructor. I really learned so much that i can do this myself. He gave me the kit list and suppliers. I 100% would come back to learn some advanced skills when i need help on an ambitious project.

Min Hwang

Naoum was a delightful host! The class felt like a small craft workshop gathering. I was able to come home with a professional looking belt I am planning to gift. He also let me customize the belt with embossing. I would very much recommend to anyone who is interested in getting into the craft. I was + more

Laura-Jane Gathern

We had a leather luggage tag class today and it was amazing!!! Naoum’s workspace was so well prepared and his instructions were very precise. I loved the fact he gave us scraps of leather to test techniques out on before we attempted it on our actual tags! He kept us all well fed, with plenty of drinks + more

Sam Phillips

I had a great time learning how to craft a wallet with Naoum! He was super informative, hospitalable and clearly passionate about the craft and teaching you. Highly recommened keeping a bit more time spare post class, the increased time is worth it!
