My background is in engineering on the railway. I have always been hands on. Due to ill health, I retired from the railway. I have always been making things . My partner brought a 2 day leather course which I thoroughly enjoyed. I went on to try my hand at tooling/stamping leather. I practiced until I had reached a good standard. I was then asked to teach so that gave me a huge confidence to start teaching hand tooling. I am enjoying teaching others through the process which I have learnt for myself and can now pass on. I have recently started a Tiktok account which will show my new project of armour making for LARPS and Cosplay
"A delightful and deeply informative one-on-one (+ the occasional visiting dog). I came away feeling very positive about being able to continue with the skills that I had arrived hoping to learn & polish. The range of experience that Pip has had and the skills she has developed make for a very hands-on approach. Time passed as a summer's day should with bees humming just outside the open patio door - the gentle tap-tap-tap of tooling leather punctuated with a range of conversation from film, theatre & leather-armour to martial arts training. Thank you Pip - a valuable and memorable couple of days."
"This was a wonderful course! Pip is very knowledgeable and generously shares this knowledge. She warmly welcomed us into her home, and we learned so much over the 2 days with her. I left feeling confident and thinking about all the future projects I want to make, and thanks to Pip I will be able to achieve. I cannot recommend this course highly enough! It was absolutely wonderful! "
"Had a great course learning to tool with Pip. It was great fun and I have lots of tips and tricks to continue practicing."
