Limited only by your imagination
"One of the most significant achievements in my craft is the ability to instill confidence in someone. Witnessing an individual's growth and progress over the duration of a course is an incredibly fulfilling experience. It brings me great joy to see them create a timeless, handcrafted leather piece, and revel in the sense of accomplishment that comes with making something with their own two hands".
1.1 Teaching/Mentoring
From the initial stage of template and jig designing to the final construction flow, I will provide guidance on how to effectively meet the design brief. Also exploring supplier communication, hand-sewing techniques, and finishing methods to ensure the preservation and maintenance of your finished leather goods.
Students of all skill levels can take advantage of the tools and patterns that are at their disposal. They can discover the art of appropriate product selection, learn how to use and maintain their tools effectively, and master the saddle stitch technique to achieve a beautiful finish.
Enjoy a fun and stress-free environment while learning at your own pace. There can be a lot to take in, but don't worry, I encourage you to ask questions, take notes and reach out to me for future support, all my students are offered additional support via email/video.
"As you progress, you will see an improvement in your skills and confidence. Having a dedicated teacher who is passionate about their craft and strives for perfection has greatly influenced my own skills".
