  • 5/5 from Zoe Fedson, attended Mar 2024: My wife got this for our leather anniversary. I've been. Curious about leather carving for ages but too scared to ruin leather without knowing what I'm doing. The teacher, Andrew, was awesome: very personable / easy to talk to and knowledgeable. He was always ready to give advice and feedback and now I'm not afraid to give it a shot on my own. I'd definitely recommend this workshop. My picture is below (coaster) but I haven't had a chance to cut it down to shape yet. Really happy with it though - never touched a leather carving tool before!

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.
