Hooked On Leather

The aim of my leather jewellery workshops is not simply to make things - though that is important! Anyone can craft at home with a DIY YouTube channel and enough resources. Workshops are more than that. They're about connection and creative energy through a shared interest. It’s ad hoc conversation in a space where folk are doing what they all enjoy. I structure my workshops so that they are intimate (not too big) and participants have reasons to interact by sharing resources. In a past life, I used to teach adults daily, and part of me misses that live classroom interaction, where everyone goes home buoyed by our interactions and what we learned from each other that day. Now I can take those skills to the group maker-space. I aim to theme each workshop to attract similar demographic groups – such as ladies at wine-time, teens, or ASD mother-daughter dates. Workshops can be great places to meet other people with similar interests and I believe our society needs more of that. It also helps each class dynamic.If you don’t see an available workshop listed, feel free to send me some details so I can find a time and theme that fits - or sign up for my workshop newsletter via my website (hookedonleather -dot- au). I am available for private bookings too, such as birthdays and hens parties. As for what we will make... leather jewellery, baby! If you're into wearable art, forget mass-produced factory items. In this day of AI, it's time to embrace imperfect, idiosyncratic, individually crafted items made the slow way – with love and mindfulness! Why buy ready-made items when you can make them yourself, exactly to your taste, while sharing the experience with others? I hope to see you at one of my workshops soon.Jacqui.
