"Wow. Who knew there was so much to know? Just home from a full 1-1 day with Pipa. Her knowledge on leather craft is simply Encyclopaedic! The day was full of info and hands on practice leaving me feeling confident to tackle my next project. Totally recommended.

Pipa Wolf is an excellent teacher who was experienced enough to tailor the teaching to my way of thinking when I struggled with 1 of the skills. A fun day of learning a new skill."

"I had a fantastic day with Pipa going through the basics of leather working and going through the tools and materials. Having an idea of things I wanted to make as well as working out how I learn, she was able to tailor the day to focus on the main aspects I should know. I can't wait to put what I learnt into practice!"

"I recently did the beginners leather craft course which was amazing. Pippa was so informative, she presented a great explanation and demonstration of the many tools, techniques and leathers, it was a great introduction to the craft. It has given me ‘the bug’ for leather work and I now want to develop it into a craft hobby, thank you for the inspiration. I’d recommend Pippa to anyone setting out or developing their craft or knowledge in leatherwork. Thank you for a great day ! 😁🤩"

"I booked a one day course for my partner and our grandson as part of grandson's 18th birthday present. They had a great day. Pipa was able to both show them the basics of leatherwork whilst also gearing it towards their interests and taking it at their pace. I am sure they will be back. Thank you Pipa"

"I booked a one-day workshop with Pipa and what a pleasure and privilege it was! Pipa was warm, accommodating and could not do enough to ensure that I gained the skills to approach any leatherwork projects I may have in future. Can not recommend this enough for anyone interested in learning leatherwork! "

Pete Crosby reviewed: 1-to-1 Beginners Leatherworking Workshop

"A fabulous day of learning in a truly amazing venue. Although booked as a general introduction to leatherwork, Pipa was able to tweak the lessons to suit my particular interest in restoring historic military leather equipment. An amazing amount was packed into the day, hands-on and theory, and Pipa is clearly a gifted leatherworker as well as a natural teacher. An enjoyable, well paced day and so much learned. I’m booking a follow up day to focus more on areas aligned to my own particular goals and interests. "

"Both me and my friend really enjoyed Pippa's leatherwork course. She went though all the basic techniques and a range of tools, to help us decide which ones we wanted to use, and gave us all the advice we needed to start working on our own projects. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to start leatherwork!"

The Wolf Workshop responded:

"Thankyou Emma! It was lovely to have you both in the studio. I'm looking forward to seeing what you make in the future!"

Victoria reviewed: 1-to-1 Beginners Leatherworking Workshop

"I have enjoyed a packed leatherworking day with Pipa, her guinea pigs and cat. There was lots to cover in a day, from what leather is and is not, to working with its properties, tooling, dyeing and stitching. Pipa’s enthusiasm and expertise were shaped to work with what I wanted to get out of the day. Pipa was generous with her time and skills. As a complete beginner in this area the day worked really well as a introduction to all things with leather."
