About this tour

- Complimentary coffee or tea whilst you work

What to expect
You'll arrive at the studio and get a rundown of leather types and their properties. Then you'll move into the workshop proper, where you'll handle tools and materials under guidance. The team will walk you through key techniques as you work on your piece—stitching, finishing, perhaps embossing or edge-work depending on what you choose. It's not rushed. The two hours give real space to absorb the process rather than tick boxes. Your hands will do most of the work; the craftspeople are there to advise and correct gently. By the end, you'll have something tangible and a clearer sense of why quality leather goods cost what they do.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting marked. The studio is wheelchair accessible and prams are fine. Public transport is nearby if you're not driving. Children under five need to sit with an adult. No special fitness level required—it's all seated, precision work.
