I'm a Sydney-based leather goods designer and maker with a passion for creating beautiful, functional pieces by hand.
I love working with leather because of the character and individuality of the material — no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
I've created this workshop to share that process in a relaxed and approachable way, giving people the opportunity to slow down, get creative and make something they can actually use.
I especially love seeing the different colours, details and personal touches each person brings to their finished piece.
No previous experience is needed — I'll guide you through each step and make sure you leave with a journal you're proud of.
