Workshop Space
Come and spend time at the bench!
Nigel is opening his workshop up.
It’s not an open day as such, it’s not even a lesson, think of it somewhere between, perhaps a mentoring, networking, advice, try something new, suck it and see type of day.
If you need more space, are stuck with a project, want to network with other leatherworkers, need advice with an idea or just want to sit at the bench and stitch. This is the day you need.
Nigel will not be teaching a lesson, but will be on hand to offer and advice, guidance or suggestions on tools, techniques and coffee.
Session will run from 9 till 12 and 1 till 4.
Sessions are £25 each or £40 for the day.
Tea and coffee supplied, but bring lunch if you are staying the day.
Saturday 09th & Sunday 10th
June 2024
9am - 12pm or 1pm - 4pm



At the end of the course, not only will you have a Cardholder and a full set of Templates to take home with you, you will also have the knowledge and understanding of how to repeat the build so you can make as many as you wish at your leisure
You will also have a clear understanding of all of the processes involved, which will include Techniques, Skills and Tools required.
The completion of the Cardholder is dependant on your skillset and ability during the course, but in almost all cases, it is achievable.
Who is this course for?
This course is well suited to those early in their leatherworking journey who have some practical experience and wish to expand their skillset.
Having a working knowledge of the core skills whilst an advantage, is not a prerequisite. All levels are welcome.
If you are a beginner, we will teach you, if you are already on the path, we will polish you, and if you are an adept, we will remind you.
