Recent reviews of Leather Crafting Workshop: Create a Belt
5/5 from Elisa MejÃa, attended Aug 2026: 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 helpful and accommodating even before the class. He was quick in answering emails, helping me prepare everything and find the right materials for decorating the belt. During the class, he was knowledgeable and passionate about his craft, and helped us create beautiful items that are not only gorgeous but also have a nice story behind. I'd recommend this class to anyone!
5/5 from Paul Hayes, attended Aug 2026: I found the teacher very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, I made a belt and he explained every step, I would recommend him to anyone that wants to learn a new skill.
5/5 from Zeeshan Khalish, attended Jul 2026: Was very hospitable and was an amazing class where he explained everything in a lot of detail and made it enjoyable. Super relaxed fun environment.
5/5 from Tiara Daring, attended Jun 2026: 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.
5/5 from Bill Urquhart, attended May 2026: 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!
5/5 from Sophie Smyth, attended May 2026: I had such a great experience at this leather belt-making class - Naoum is an excellent teacher and is really patient and knowledgeable. I came away having learned a lot and made a lovely, high-quality belt. I’d definitely recommend this class to anyone interested in learning a new skill or trying something creative!
5/5 from Emily Cross, attended Apr 2026: 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 to make anything out of leather. Thanks Naoum, we’ll be back!
5/5 from Min Hwang, attended Mar 2026: 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 a complete beginner and now I want to get my own tools to start.
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!
