Learn how to make a DIY leather coin purse/cardholder and earphones holder in this leatherwork class in Sydney! You will learn the basics of making stylish luxury leather accessories in this introductory leather workshop.
This makes a great gift and is also a quick entry into your first time working with leather if traditional saddle stitching is not so important to you.
In the two-hour class, you will join Victoria of Masterful Makers in her home studio and practice cutting premium leather. Then you will choose your leather, hardware and decide on your shape for your items.
Victoria will teach you how to cut, shape, trim and finish your items creating a rather cute set of accessories that will look great.
This is a great fun way to spend a few hours gaining knowledge and skills in crafting beautiful leather for the first time. At the end of the workshop, you will take home your own DIY coin purse from premium Italian leather.

Makers take raw materials and transform them into objects of desire. It is an art form, it is a craft, and it can be learned!
Come and experience a workshop with Masterful Makers. In as little as two hours you can walk out with a piece of handmade jewellery, leather bag, stunning knotted mala or your own personalised skincare products. All designed and crafted by you!
Let me introduce myself, I am Victoria White, a one-woman dynamo/mad scientist/designer and maker of crafts. I am the owner of Masterful Makers and offer boutique workshops from my studio.
My love for art, the history of man and pretty shiny things came together while being pregnant with my daughter and working for the Museum of African American Art in Florida. I fell in love with African trade beads. They were historical in context and heavy with human drama. They were an artefact, an antique and pretty. Pairing the few trade beads I had with semi-precious stones and sterling silver wire I began to make my first wrapped earrings.
It was very therapeutic and relaxing until my husband (at the time) saw the box of earrings I had made and took them to work. He returned that afternoon and presented me with a box of money, after having sold them all to his work colleagues! And that is how all this madness began.
That was a bit over 25 years ago. And here we are now!
I have my BA in art history and a Diploma in Visual Arts and Silversmithing.
I use my workshops to pass on my skills and knowledge so that you too will see just how enjoyable being a Maker can be. Coming away with personally designed and created pieces.
I am Victoria White and Making is my passion, let me make it yours as well.
Teacher had a lovely personality and made me feel comfortable. The pug was so cute! And I left with a little leather pouch

I had a great morning with Victoria who showed me the steps in making a simple leather card holder.
In her busy workshop, I got to use a nice soft black leather, shown how to punch holes for stitching, how to stitch, finish the edges of the leather then adding chrome clasp.
I look forward to going again for something more challenging.
Highly recommended!

Victoria was an absolute gem! Really enjoyed the session, learned a lot and she was very helpful throughout! Got to make a lovely leather card wallet. Selected the leather, the style, the stitching and proceeded to make a lovely wallet. Thank you Victoria!
