This is a fun activity in Eltham, London

Discover the art of leather crafting in our workshops, where you can create unique, handcrafted cardholders and personalise them to your liking. No prior experience is required, as you’ll receive full guidance from the instructor every step of the way.

This session lasts between four and five hours, with breaks scheduled every couple of hours. Participants are welcome to bring their own snacks and drinks to enjoy during these intervals.

Throughout the workshop, you will learn essential leather-working techniques, including punching, cutting, edging, skiving, burnishing, stitching, finishing, and embossing. These skills will empower you to create beautiful, durable items with confidence and precision.

The workshops are conveniently located within a 10-minute walk from Eltham train station and a 15-minute walk from Mottingham train station.

We take pride in using only the finest quality full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather sourced ethically and sustainably. Our materials include cow leather from Derbyshire, UK, which is environmentally friendly and ages beautifully; goat leather imported from France, renowned for its durability and elegance; and kangaroo leather from a Derbyshire tannery, which is exceptionally lightweight yet strong.

Join us to explore the art of leather crafting and leave with a unique masterpiece made by your own hands. All tools, leather, patterns, and guidance are provided to help you bring your creative vision to life.

The entire experience is amazing. Naomn (hope I didn’t mispell his name!) is patient and clear, very accommodating and friendly! He offered tea / coffee / fruits / parties / wine and even wine from his own country! I thoroughly enjoy the experience, happy with the cardholder I made, and will unreservedly recommend it.

We LOVED our workshop with Naoum on Saturday! Our group decided to make passport holders (X3) and a card holder- we all had different competences and Naoum was a very patient and helpful teacher. We enjoyed choosing our different colour leathers, thread and choice of embossing because our end products felt really personal, like something you can't find in a shop - it was a fab way to celebrate our friend's birthday. Naoum was a wonderful host- thank you very much!

I had a great time learning how to craft a wallet with Naoum! He was super informative, hospitalable and clearly passionate about the craft and teaching you. Highly recommened keeping a bit more time spare post class, the increased time is worth it!

We had a fantastic workshop with Naoum! We made passport holders and guided/helped us through each step - punching, cutting and sewing the leather. We had good conversations and Naoum had snacks to replenish us. We are very proud of the final products.
