Really enjoyed the bag making session. Rosanna explained things clearly from start to finish. It was fantastic to learn skills from pattern cutting to stitching etc… the finished product complete with personalised name stamp inside is beautiful! Would definitely recommend.

I booked the two day leather course with Rosanna, to make a messenger bag after my own design and I couldn't have made a better choice! There are not many workshops that allow for individual one-to-one support on a project of the student's choice and this was exactly what I was looking for. I was able to use leather that I had bought previously and Rosanna guided me through the process from start to finish with great expertise. I felt I learned a lot and came away with a stunning bag. I would happily recomment her workshops or even attend another one.

I was gifted a full day workshop with Roseanne for my birthday.
Roseanne took her time to explain, and show us, every step during the day - nothing was rushed or too much trouble.
Roseanne has a fantastic workshop and an impressive selection of leathers that we could choose from to make our projects.
There was a selection of items that we could choose from to make, which covered a number of basic leather working skills.
I had a fantastic day and would highly recommend the workshop for anyone who wants to try their hand at working leather.

Amazing . I had my late husband’s motorcycle jackets made into bags and wallets and purses. Service was so fast and the goods are spectacular. It’d be 6 stars if I could.

My husband surprised me with a Full Day Leather Craft Workshop for our 3rd anniversary (because, well, leather - and I really enjoy making things by hand). We both absolutely loved it . We learned a ton of new skills, gleaned some fascinating information and came away with some (eventually!) rather professional looking handmade leather gifts for each other.

Rosanna is lovely. She’s a brilliant teacher, and went way out of her way to make sure all three of us on the course got out of it what we were individually looking for. She’s also very welcoming. I think we all felt relaxed and at home. The first part of the day was a bit intense (steep learning curve!) but the whole day was an absolute buzz. I can’t recommend it enough - whether you want to learn something new, or (like us) find a memorable way to spend your 3rd anniversary.

I bought the wallet making kit from Rosanna and have found a new hobby! It was great to do something different and the toolkit and tutorial video made it enjoyable and easy to follow.

You need to buy a few additional tools but they don't cost too much and is mentioned before you buy the product(s).

This would make a great present for Father's Day or any chap wanting to make their own wallet!

I completed Rosanna's evening workshop hosted at Soho House and she was amazing! Loved the quality tools, relaxed atmosphere and I came away with a beautiful wallet some new friends and the skills to try out on more projects.

My husband's leather jacket was too good and held too many memories to let go when he died. I had the idea of making it into a valise for our son and searched the internet for makers. I was very lucky to find Rosanna. she has done such a wonderful job transforming the jacket into a sturdy bag. Together we decided on the lining and placement of the pockets and labels and Rosanna added our son's initials too. The result is a unique and extremely smart bag. Our son was delighted to have such a personal memento of his father. He commented on what a good size it was, just right for overnight stays, and also on the quality of the trimmings. I am sure he will treasure it for years to come. Thank you Rosanna!
