Richard Chipperfield reviewed: Introduction to small goods leather crafting

"Really brilliant day - thanks indeed, Paul. Great tuition, enthusiasm, company, location, end product, and pointers for the future. My mum and I have done a number of craft courses over the years and this was right up there at the top. If you were to put on any other courses, Paul, we'd be back! Loved it."

Denise & Ron Barnatt reviewed: Introduction to small goods leather crafting

"Both my husband and I had a great day with Paul learning all about leather, techniques and then getting to make and take home our very own notebook holders. Paul is a great teacher, very congenial, relaxed and explains everything incredibly well. We can't recommend Paul and this class highly enough and we've now caught the leatherworking 'bug'. The venue is stunning and wonderfully peaceful. You won't be disappointed!"
