Recent reviews of Leather Crafting Series: Create a Purse
5/5 from Ioanna Xenaki, attended May 2026: I cannot recommend this class highly enough. Naoum is patient, a great teacher, and made the experience really enjoyable!
5/5 from Pawel Maksym, attended Apr 2026: 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.
5/5 from Marco Jones, attended Mar 2026: 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.
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!
