TOOLS
You will need your own l tools - a checklist is provided with a 15% discount code for any tools you need to purchase to complete the class.

All the sessions are designed to be completed as stand alone units or as part of a sequence to help build up your knowledge base.

Follow Up—classes include follow up handouts and video content, after the event, to help you continue your leathercraft journey.

How do online live workshops work?

These work in a very similar way to a physical class with small numbers and plenty of interaction.
All materials and handouts are included and posted out to you prior to the class.
You will need your own set of tools for these sessions.
A checklist will be provided and a 15% discount is available for any items you need to complete the class.

We use the Zoom platform and will provide instructions and a link to join. You will need a laptop or tablet with a camera function.
If you wish to try out the technology prior to the session this can be arranged.

How are 'In Person' workshops run?

Classes are based in the Matlock area, at the gateway to the Peak District, in venues such as the Village Hall in Tansley, a picturesque village 2 miles from Matlock.
Working with a small group of participants allows for personal time and attention and the chance to ask questions as the class progresses.
For these classes all tools required are provided though you are welcome to bring your own.

A 15% discount is offered for any tools from the class you wish to purchase before or after the event.

The venues used allow for social distancing and are well ventilated.

Catherine
"Thanks again for last weeks classes. I really enjoyed it and am amazed how much you managed to cram in! I know, from my own experience of teaching crochet, sewing etc that everyone learns differently and I think you managed things really well - it's one thing being able to help/demonstrate to people who are right in front of you and quite another to do it remotely!! Thank you again for your time and patience. I'll be looking out for more classes!”
