With a background in architecture, I’ve always been drawn to clean lines, simple geometries, and thoughtful design. While working in practice, I missed the hands-on aspects of making, which led me to explore various crafts—ultimately, leatherwork resonated with me the most. I was drawn to its timeless quality, the way it ages beautifully, and the satisfaction of crafting something by hand.

In my studio at Cockpit Studios, Deptford, I use traditional saddlery techniques like saddle stitching and hand burnishing to create durable, functional pieces. I work exclusively with oak-tanned and vegetable-tanned leather, artisanal materials that develop a rich patina over time, making each piece unique.

Teaching allows me to share this craft with others, and I love seeing the joy and satisfaction my students experience when they create something themselves. My workshops offer a hands-on introduction to leatherwork, where you’ll learn the basics and craft your own piece. My dedication to the craft has been recognised with the Leatherseller’s Award (2022-2025), and I’m excited to welcome you to this rewarding and tactile craft!
