I am a professional leatherworker with years of experience under my (handmade) belt! With a former life as a Design & Technology teacher, and a Masters degree in Textiles from UAL, I pursued my love of leather to develop a range of courses to pass on my knowledge and experience to others. Within just two years of setting up my business, I was commissioned to write the now very popular leathercraft book Sew Luxe Leather, published in 2018.

Part of my ethos is sustainability, reducing waste by utilising leather in every form. I love designs that use up the smallest pieces of leather, such as earrings and coasters made from offcuts. My inventiveness with ‘waste’ has led to my taking part in the BBC TV programme ‘Money for Nothing’ where products destined for the tip are transformed by artisans like me.

I am passionate about being able to pass on my knowledge of leathercraft to others by running a series of fun workshops. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned leather crafter looking for your next project, I cater for both individuals with one-to-one tuition, and groups of up to six at my Essex studio. I can also cater to larger groups at other venues, which are ideal for team-building activities or away days.

I could not attend as the teacher was ill. I look forward to attending soon.

Me and my boyfriend did a half day workshop for his birthday. We made a variety of items that we are really proud of and definitely enjoyed our experience! Rosanna was a great teacher, very knowledgeable, and her workshop venue was lovely. We would love to come back again and fully intend to.
