I really had a great time in Sheena's class. She's a thorough, patient, and well-prepared teacher. She divided the project into simple steps which never felt difficult, and I really learned a lot about her craft. In the end I left with a bag I'm really proud of, which will make a lovely gift at Christmas. I highly recommend this course!

I was such a nice way to spend a Saturday! On top of learning new skills and getting a very nice bag in the end, Sheena made the whole experience very chilled and cosy. Everything was great and it was very enjoyable to learn all the techniques with her and the rest of the group. Loved it!!

What a fantastic creative relaxing day spent with Sheena in making a leather shoulder bag. Sheena is very patient, professional and organised. I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and would come back to create other leather objects.

My friends kindly gave me Wecando vouchers for my birthday. I wanted to attend a craft course that would teach me new skills and have an end product that I could use. The leather handbag course ticked all the boxes. Sheena explained and supported throughout the workshop. You get to choose your leather colour, stitching and finishes.. Loved that we could also emboss our initials onto the leather. Highly recommend booking a course with Sheena

I have always wanted to try leather craft, but didn’t know where to start. This class is ideal for people like me. It taught me the basic skills and enabled me to explore further. Sheena is an informative and patient teacher. Her class is very well designed and was of perfect difficulty to finish in the time. It took about 6 hours to complete, but time went so quickly. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Thank you very much Sheena!! I am very happy with my first leather bag, and am already getting lots of compliments from family and friends. Beautiful 🤩

Couldn't recommend it more! Sheena was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly and patiently. The design was the perfect level of challenging whilst being achievable within a single day, and the final bags are beautiful, very customised and great quality. Would highly recommend this workshop to anyone, 5/5 stars.
