Join us for a calming and creative leathercraft workshop in Melbourne, where you’ll hand-make your own beautifully finished leather keychain or bag charm — even if you’ve never tried anything like this before! This is the perfect experience if you’re looking to unwind, try something new, and walk away with something truly special that you made yourself.
Over the course of two relaxing hours, you’ll be introduced to a full set of tools used by professional leather artisans — and learn how to:
  • Choose the right type of leather
  • Apply glue and bond layers
  • Cut using templates for precision and consistency
  • Treat and finish edges based on different types of leather
  • Hand-stitch elegant wave patterns
  • Install hardware to complete your unique piece
  • optional: emboss your initials on your leather tag using a foil stamping machine (additional fee applies)
More than just a casual craft activity, this is a mindful, immersive process that helps you slow down and reconnect with your hands. Many of our guests say it feels incredibly therapeutic and rewarding.
At our studio, we focus on quality and intention. We believe in creating items that are made to last, both in form and meaning. That’s why we use only high-quality leather and carefully selected hardware — not just for appearance, but to ensure durability. Our goal is to help you craft something far beyond a quick souvenir — not a rough piece tossed aside after a few days, but a small, refined item that feels timeless, functional, and beautiful. Something you'll be proud to use every day and might even say, “I can’t believe I made this!”

Since childhood, I’ve dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. I’ve always loved crafting by hand — as a little girl, I designed and hand-sewed clothes for my dolls. Over 20 years ago, I began teaching myself leathercraft, and eight years ago, I received formal training and started working in high-end leather goods through private custom orders.
While I’ve enjoyed creating bespoke pieces for clients, what truly excites me is the energy and joy of teaching in person. I absolutely love working face-to-face with people — answering questions, sharing techniques, and watching someone go from hesitant beginner to proudly holding a piece they made with their own hands. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing that spark of amazement in a student’s eyes when they realise, “Wow, I really made this!”
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and encouraging workshop environment where everyone feels welcome — no matter their experience level. I’m always patient and enthusiastic, guiding each student step by step and making sure they not only learn, but also enjoy the creative process. Many of my students tell me they walk in nervous but leave feeling confident, relaxed, and inspired.
I’m based in Melbourne and have taught hundreds of students over the years. I’m skilled in both Japanese and French leathercraft techniques, though I have a particular preference for the French style.I find deep satisfaction in crafting leather pieces with the care and precision of traditional French artisans, where timeless design and masterful technique come together.
I believe that high-quality materials, refined craftsmanship, and dedicated time are what it takes to create something truly exceptional — a piece that can last a lifetime. I love elegant, well-made leather goods that combine aesthetics with everyday function.
In my workshops, I aim to help each participant create a polished and practical piece they’ll genuinely use and feel proud of — not just a rough project made on a whim. I’m also a portrait photographer, so joining one of my workshops means you’ll leave not only with a unique handcrafted item, but also with some professionally captured memories of the experience.
