Join this leather belt making workshop in Sheffield and learn the traditional skills needed to hand-make your own beautiful full-grain leather accessory. This activity is a fantastic opportunity to see how an everyday item is crafted from scratch using age-old techniques.
During the workshop, you'll receive expert guidance on every part of the process. You'll begin by learning about the raw materials before moving on to the hands-on crafting.

Hello I'm Jonathan, the founder of Hyde Wares. After a decade as a leathercraftsman designing and making goods that have shipped worldwide I am proud to pass on those same skills.
I began as a hobbyist whilst living in Portugal and look back on those early days very fondly. It's a real pleasure to introduce others to the traditional crafts of leatherwork and see the same joy that can only be gained from making your own piece.
From my Sheffield studio I offer 3 different classes for up to 4 guests. I exclusively use vegetable-tanned leather from the UK and am very passionate about this wonderful material.
