You'll also have the opportunity to choose your preferred thread colour and brass or nickel fixings.
We understand that leathercraft might seem daunting, so we'll provide clear, step-by-step guidance, making the process accessible and enjoyable for complete beginners.

  • 5/5 from Abby Peters, attended Aug 2026: My partner and I had the absolute best time in the studio with Michelle! She was so knowledgable about her craft, and really took her time to make sure we were supported whilst making our leather card holders and keyrings. We learnt so much about working with leather - and the pieces we made turned out so beautiful! Couldn’t be happier - thank you again Michelle
  • 5/5 from Ryan Fong, attended Jun 2026: A group of 5 of us spent a Sunday afternoon doing Michelle’s leather workshop and honestly had such a great time. Michelle was so welcoming and generous with her time from start to finish, and created a lovely relaxed atmosphere for everyone. The workshop itself was brilliant - we each made our own personalised leather cardholder wallets and keyrings, with Michelle patiently guiding us through every step. She explained everything clearly, helped whenever anyone (me) who got stuck, and never once made us feel rushed. It was such a satisfying experience seeing everyone’s finished wallets at the end! and we all left feeling genuinely proud of what we’d made. A really enjoyable afternoon with friends and something a bit different to do together. Would absolutely recommend Michelle and this workshop to anyone interested in crafting, leatherwork, or just looking for a fun and creative way to spend an afternoon! Thanks Michelle, 5/5
  • 5/5 from Daniel Shin, attended Feb 2026: As a first-timer, I had an amazing time thanks to Michelle's detailed and kind guidance, which helped me truly appreciate the charm of leathercraft. The quality of the final piece far exceeded my expectations, and seeing my girlfriend so happy when I gave it to her made the experience even more rewarding. It was the perfect way to create both a special memory and a beautiful gift, and I can’t wait to visit Michelle's studio again!
  • 5/5 from Seo Hyun Chang, attended Aug 2025: I really enjoyed this workshop! Michelle was super friendly and made the steps easy to follow, even for a beginner like me. I liked that she explained the background behind the techniques too which made the whole process more interesting!! Would highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun and creative activity!

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!
