  • 5/5 from Su Wu, attended Jan 2024: Great class! Each step was explained clearly and easy to follow. Love my new wristband.
  • 5/5 from Steven Longley, attended Dec 2023: Andrew again provided the class of 5 with a great knowledge base as well as techniques. The class included all of the necessary materials and tools to complete the project in the time frame. He also provided a hand that enabled us to revise what we had done and the tools that we used.
  • 5/5 from Audrey de Gray, attended Dec 2023: Had a great time the class was fun and easy to follow and Andrew was very nice
  • 5/5 from Paul O'Neill, attended Sep 2023: Andrew was very methodical in his explanations and demonstrations of the tools. The class progressed (for me) at a good pace and I was able to keep up with each step of the project. A great way to discover leather craft for beginners (like me).
  • 5/5 from Trissana Ehren, attended Sep 2023: Andrew was friendly and knowledgeable, offering tips and tricks of the trade as we went through the class. I had a great time learning how to make a cuff and will be back to learn more when I can! The workshop is a shared artist collective and it was really interesting learning about the other classes and projects that they run there.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Clearwa, attended Sep 2023: Teacher explained with great knowledge. Also providing a step by step guide. The venue was great opened up my eyes to what was available to us as a member. The only downside is the area was a little hard to find.
  • 5/5 from Natalie Smith, attended Jul 2023: The teacher was so smart and interesting to talk to. Easy going. He went at my pace which was interesting. Told me about the leather. The tools. He has so many great tools boxes and boxes full. I really enjoyed this class.
  • 5/5 from Steven Dryden, attended Feb 2023: What a great class for beginners, Andrew is very knowledgeable & teaching style makes it a pleasure & easy to understand.Thanks for giving your time & passing in your knowledge.
  • 5/5 from Eileen Rhoads, attended Jan 2023: I attended this workshop this morning with my dad, and we had such a great time! Andrew is absolutely lovely and a great teacher. Everything is supplied, and the materials are high quality. I'm definitely inspired to give leather craft a go as a regular hobby! Thanks, Andrew!
  • 5/5 from Kendra Malbasic, attended Sep 2022: Andrew was a great teacher Very patient Loved the class and the other students. Very friendly class
  • 5/5 from Tasmar, attended Jul 2022: Excellent class, super friendly, great group of learners. Well structured and the wrist band we made was super cool!
  • 5/5 from Tasmar, attended Jul 2022: This was a great workshop! You don't need to take anything as everything is supplied. The teacher was fantastic, patient, clear and had all the tools, equipment and materials available, organised and well maintained. You go through the whole process completely supported and find out all sorts of interesting things about leatherworking and you end up with a 100% comlete, rather swanky wrist cuff, ready to wear! We had a great group of people in our class and it was great fun with lots of laughter.

Andrew, an avid re-enactor and LARPer, is the proprietor of Western Leathercraft. With a lifelong passion for art, primarily illustration, Andrew’s interest in leathercraft began after joining a local Perth medieval club (The Society for Creative Anachronism) in 1989. He moved beyond making leather belts and decorative armour when in 2010 he bought the craft shop, Western Leathercraft, which was then based in East Perth.
Andrew began hand-crafting leather items to sell in the shop and at market stalls, trading skills with a wide range of local leather crafters, and attending conferences to improve his skills. Teaching Leathercraft since 2017, he is also a Secondary School Teacher of Visual Art and Humanities.
