Maker's bio

I'm originally from New Zealand, I started doing leather craft from the back of a house truck about 35 years ago and have been passionate about it ever since. I have been running courses for about 6 years now. It has very quickly become one of my favourite things to do. Most of the pieces I make are one off bespoke items.

Val Russell reviewed: 2 day intensive making and carving leather workshop

"This course was fantastic. Loved every minute of it. Very therapeutic, inspiring and motivating. I am looking forward to working with leather in the near future. If I lived in the UK I would book another course with Slim. He is a very good and patient teacher giving just the right amount of instruction, guidance and support. My husband and I recommend this course to anyone who loves working with their hands in a delightful rural setting."

Ross Leather and Wood responded:

"Hi guys thanks so much for your wonderful review. You both were a total pleasure to work with. You guys were also the first people to do a leather craft course holiday in my new workshop. Have a great rest of your holiday. Stay safe, and good luck with everything in the future. Hope to see you again sometime. All the best Slim Nicky Molly and Georgie ? "

Lesley Faithful reviewed: 1 day Leather craft course beg/int

"Had a fantastic day with one-to-one tuition on the course last Saturday. Slim is patient, he needed to be I was very slow! and supportive and I came away with new skills and a beautiful passort holder (for when I can go somewhere!) He even took the time to compile a bespoke 'starter kit' list for me. Slim is easy company and an excellent tutor I would strongly recommend his courses even if it means travelling to Scotland!"

Des Huby reviewed: Leather carving course

"I have been on two previous leather courses and this was the best by far. Very friendly, very informative in a very relaxed atmosphere. This hands on course was perfect for my requirements and has given me great confidence to practice and use this art/technique in other areas. Brilliant course ?"

Ross Leather and Wood responded:

"Hi Des thanks so much for your lovely comments. It was a pleasure working with you. You did a fantastic job. Hope to see you in Scotland. All the best Slim ?"

Jawad Bokhari reviewed: Leather carving course

"Slim is a great teacher, he was very generous with his time, tools and materials and allowed me a choice of projects to work on. This work shop has given me a lot practice and skills to go away and work on my own projects. Very pleased with the overall visit."

Ross Leather and Wood responded:

"Hi Jawad thanks very much for your great review. It was lovely meeting you and you were a pleasure to work with. Hope to see you again in Scotland. All the best Slim."
