Handmade Leather Tote Bag Workshop with Ella Jackson

Discover the art of leather craftsmanship and design your own private group custom leather tote bag with me, Ella Jackson. In this hands-on, creative 4-hour workshop, you’ll explore the process of leatherworking and create a functional yet stylish tote that’s entirely unique to you.

Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, I’ll guide you step-by-step through cutting, assembling, and stitching your tote bag using high-quality leather and professional tools. Together, we’ll explore the creative possibilities, and you’ll leave with a beautiful, handcrafted bag that’s perfect for everyday use or a special gift.

This workshop is all about having fun while learning a new skill in a relaxed, supportive environment. All materials are provided, and no prior experience is required—just bring your creativity and an openness to learning!

Workshops are available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 9.00 am and 2:00 pm and can be booked via the website. Prices are for groups of 2 - 4 participants. The exact address will be provided upon booking

This is more than just a workshop—it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in a creative process and leave with a personalised tote bag you’ll love to carry!
