Excellent teacher, extremely knowledgeable, patient and encourages the students. I finished making a passport holder which l am proud of and, l plan using for my trips Abroad. 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!!

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

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.

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

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

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

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!).

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.

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!

Bethany Warren

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.

A very good class with an excellent teacher and host. It was a very organised session with lots of food and drink. I would absolutely encourage anyone interested in working with leather or just the art of crafting in general to attend. I made a collar for my cat that she seems to love!

Rafah El-Khatib

This workshop was amazing in so many ways! I went with no prep, no materials, and came out of this workshop with a gorgeous, personalised, handmade (self-made!) passport holder. There were so many leather colours to choose from and I love what I ended up making. Naoum was the best instructor - he explains + more

Alexander Joseph

Had a really good time, had a really good teacher who explained about the different types of leather. Got to choose what colours I'd like. Explained the steps that would be taken to make the pouch that i chose, got help when i got stuck and was shown how to fix it. I really enjoyed it all but loved doing + more

We had a fantastic workshop with Naoum! We made passport holders and guided/helped us through each step - punching, cutting and sewing the leather. We had good conversations and Naoum had snacks to replenish us. We are very proud of the final products.

Fantastic class for a first taste of leatherwork. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere allowing work without pressure or anxiety. Knowledgeable teacher who goes the extra mile to help you be successful, no hesitation recommending.

Erica Theis

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.

I joined this leather workshop over the weekend with a friend and had a great experience.
