"What a fantastic day I had making my own bespoke bag. From creating the pattern to sewing and finally using my gorgeous bag I had the best time. Georgie went through everything, step by step, and nothing was too much trouble especially when I didn't understand things. I would recommend this course to everyone - I am already looking forward to another one!"

"I did a 2 day 1-1 tuition with Georgie Jan 24. She was really helpful in getting me prepared for the course, helping with leather selection and ideas, I arrived ready to go and excited. I learnt so much in the 2 days and I feel that there is so much more to learn from Georgie. We achieved a huge amount thanks to her excellent planning and organisation and I am thrilled with the end product bag I made. It really didn't feel like a CPD course but like a treat! "

Hands of Tym responded:

"Thank you Kirsty! It was an absolute delight to have to visit the workshop and your bag was just lovely! Hope to see you again, Georgie"

"I had a 1-2-1 1/2 day course with Georgie and couldn't recommend it more highly. I had some previous experience with leather work but had some gaps in knowledge. I had prepared some bags but needed guidance on how to make and attach the bag handles. Georgie not only patiently showed me how to complete these with recommendations, but also showed me other options, how to use a machine as well as hand-sew my solutions, created a bag pattern for me based on my designs and gave me the opportunity to learn more about the tools and products suitable for my plans. She was so lovely to learn from and the studio was enviably peaceful to work in. Would definitely book in another session with Georgie for any further leather-work learning. "

Hands of Tym responded:

"Thanks so much Ani, it was a pleasure to meet you and your work is gorgeous "

"My 1-2-1 tuition day with Georgie was a great experience. I wanted to be able to make eyepatches and I brought some examples with me but no concrete plan. Georgie helped to design a pattern and new style of adjustable strap. She then guided me through cutting, moulding, edge finishing, riveting and saddle stitching. I had no prior experience with leather or crafts generally, but this was no problem. With excellent tutoring, I finished the day with 3 eyepatches and many ideas for future variations. The end result is better than any of the ones previous ones I've had, and it's great to wear something I made myself. The workshop is a cosy and fun environment and Georgie is very easy to get along with. The day passed very quickly. I would definitely recommend it to anyone; it's great value considering the items you produce and the skills you acquire."

"I was given a 1 on 1 session with Georgie as a present. I contacted her and asked if I could split the day into two separate sessions as I wanted to wet form leather in a mold which then needed to dry thoroughly before being glued and stitched. Georgie was so accommodating with my request, she could not have been more helpful. During the two sessions Georgie provided expert tuition, teaching me stitching, wet forming, gluing up and burnishing. She gave me lots of advice and tips and was an expert tutor. I cannot recommend her enough. "

"Georgie is a brilliant teacher and was very helpful with my rather ambitious plans! What was made in this one day course was beyond anything I could have hoped for and my mother in law was extremely pleased to receive it as a gift. I learnt so much in this one day and it has left me super excited to practice what I have learnt. I can not recommend this course highly enough! "

Hands of Tym responded:

"Thanks Laura. I had such a great day with you. So much creativity and loads of ideas. Your purse was wonderful! Best wishes, Georgie"

"I spent a day with Georgie last week and found it enormously enjoyable and useful. I have some skills (cutting and hand-stitching) and have made a number of small leather items (belts, book covers and so on). I told Georgie in advance of the course that I wanted to move on to making bags as well as refreshing a number of important basic skills. She tailored the day very well for me, covering all of the issues I wanted to address. I was able to develop basic skills on the leather sewing machine and to construct a backpack using leather I had taken along. The bag has been a massive hit with my wife and a real boost to my cred as a maker in leather! Georgie was great fun to work with too - generous with her time and her skills. I heartily recommend!!"

Hands of Tym responded:

"It was great to meet you Steve and lovely to spend time working on your bag with you - it was expertly crafted! Thanks for the kind words, best wishes Georgie"
