JESSNAJEM

Born in Sydney, trained in Florence then worked in New York City. Jess is a Sydney-based designer with an eponymous brand that focuses on custom pieces. I’ve created these workshops to share the process of leathercraft in a relaxed and approachable way, giving people the opportunity to get creative and make something they can actually use regardless of their experience, or lack thereof. I love working with leather because of the character and individuality of the material. When creating functional pieces by hand, no two pieces are ever exactly the same. No previous experience is needed — I'll guide you through each step and make sure you leave with a journal you're proud of.
