This hands-on workshop offers a practical introduction to leather working, led by leather maker Melissa Linbourn.
You’ll begin by learning about the full-grain leather used during the session, before moving on to the key techniques needed to make a small snap pouch suitable for cards or coins. Melissa will guide you through cutting (with pieces pre-cut where needed for safety), stitching, and finishing the leather, ensuring you leave with a well-made, functional piece.
The workshop is designed for complete beginners and focuses on working at a steady, supportive pace. By the end of the session, you’ll have a finished leather snap pouch and a solid understanding of the basic tools and processes used in leather craft.

Inspiration and Techniques
Melissa works exclusively with full-grain leather, the highest grade that proudly carries the natural markings and imperfections of the animal it once belonged to. She sources her hides from select UK tanneries using sustainable practices, ensuring that only by-products of the meat industry are repurposed into her collections.
Each piece is hand-cut, assembled with traditional tools, and finished with saddle stitching in waxed thread, a meticulous, machine-free method that guarantees strength and longevity. This approach may take more time, but it results in durable, characterful products made to be treasured for years to come.
