"I received the bag making workshop as a Christmas present and it exceeded all expectations! A super chilled studio space and an amazing playlist might I add. With help from Kingsley’s expert leather knowledge and skilful guidance I took home a beautiful veg tan mini tote bag. I will definitely be booking to come back again soon! Thank you :)"

"Really enjoyed Kingsley’s small leather goods course. I was 1 of 3 people on the course which allowed for plenty of 121 support. There was a good steady pace throughout and the tools and materials were all top quality. Came away with a good understanding of basic cutting and sewing techniques and some links to leather and fittings suppliers. Thanks Kingsley."

"I did the course on Saturday, I must say I really enjoyed it. Firstly Kingsley is an incredible craftsman himself. His work is really stunning,clean lined and beautifully made. He gives simple clear instructions and then let’s you get on with it, so you actually make yourself. The inevitable mistakes are calmly rectified and explained. I ended up with a great looking usable bag to take home. Super nice fella."

"Great course, learnt a load & looking forward for the bag course. Kingsley is a great teacher & the group was small so always there to answer questions even for a novice. I made an awesome card/coin purse, which came out great. Well worth a go if you have any interest in leather work."

"I wish I could give this workshop 6 stars ! I was lucky enough to have 1:1 tuition and could not believe what I managed to achieve in a day. Kingsley was flexible and extremely generous with his time and knowledge (and has great taste in music). The course was far from prescriptive and with no former experience I was able to make something slightly original. You could not find a better person to introduce you to leather !"

"This is a really enjoyable course! Had a great day and Kingsley provided a really nice environment to learn in. Can’t believe how he managed to get me from little to no knowledge to making something great! I came away from the course feeling confident in. He also provided us with information on London Merchant to get supply if we want to consolidate our knowledge and make leather work a hobby or more. Such a great day! Highly recommend!"

"Simply: Absolutely amazing workshop. A fun and charming character, Kingsley is a great teacher and mentor, taking time to go through all basics and more advanced techniques in great detail. This is something I've always been curious to know how it worked, and I would highly recommend this course for anyone who has ever been curious about how leather goods are made and why handmade craft are always so much better and longer lasting. Kingsley also did a commission for me, his craftsmanship is incredible, it was truly inspiring to see my design come to life with his hands"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my one day workshop with Kingsley! He took me through all the skills needed to produce my bag, encouraged me to think creatively and gave me so much useful information. Not only do I feel like I learnt a lot, it was great fun too. Now to start a few simple projects by myself...!"
