Maker's bio

During training at Cordwainers, London College of Fashion in 2010 I learnt how to design, make and manufacture bags professionally. Following a varied career in Accessories design and development across many roles and international brands I set up Hands of Tym in 2016. The courses I offer are suitable for all, from experienced to total novice. Come along to learn something new, and design and make your own leather bag in a day.

Abrar reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Tote Bag

"A bag in a day workshop exceeded my expectations! From start to finish, it was an incredible experience. The materials provided including the leather were of the highest quality, which made all the difference in the bag that I am truly proud of. Georgie was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, guiding us through each step with patience and enthusiasm. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and inspiring. The final product along with gained valuable skills, made something beautiful, and had a lot of fun in the process absolutely worth every penny. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for working with leather and having a hand made bag. "

Hands of Tym responded:

"Hi Abrar, thanks you so much for your kind words. Your bag was fabulous and it was lovely to spend the day with you. Best wishes, Georgie"

Laurene reviewed: Make a leather belt in a day - Craft it Yourself Practical Leather Course

"A lovely afternoon spent making my own belt. The group size was small so Georgie was able to help us out whenever we needed it. Clear instructions, relaxed atmosphere. Georgie was patient, friendly and helpful. A great way to spend an afternoon, and learning a new craft. "

Ellie Jay Wilson reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Mini Bucket bag

"We had a fantastic time making our 'Bag In A Day' Mini Bucket Bag. From start to finish Georgie was so friendly, knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging! The small group of 4 meant we could go at our own pace and get Georgie’s expertise on a 1:1 basis. We honestly couldn’t believe the finished product, I would recommend the course to anyone, we now have a bag which is so personal and special. Thank you so much Georgie!"

Jocelynne reviewed: 'Bag in a Day' Practical Leather Course - Rucksack/ Backpack

"Thanks to Georgie's knowledge and patience I have produced a bag I am really proud of. As a complete leather novice, with her guidance I have made a beautiful, useful and professional-looking backpack. And all in just one day - lunch and copious amounts of coffee included! I would highly recommend a Hands of Tym leather course."
