WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
There’s something particularly satisfying about making something you’ll actually use.
Join award-winning accessories designer and Offland founder Rowan Ceridwen Sharp for a three-and-a-half-hour introduction to traditional leatherworking, where you’ll turn a length of beautiful leather into your very own handmade belt.
Cut, punch, finish and assemble your piece under Rowan’s expert eye, learning the techniques that go into creating an accessory designed to get better with age.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS WORKSHOP?
You’ll start with the raw materials and work your way through the process of making a leather belt completely by hand.
Rowan will guide you through measuring and sizing your belt before introducing you to the tools and traditional leatherworking techniques used to shape and finish it. You’ll learn how to cut and prepare the leather, create the holes, finish the edges and fit the hardware before bringing everything together into your finished piece.
And you’re in very good hands.
Rowan trained at Cordwainers and was named Jimmy Choo Accessories Designer of the Year. Her career has taken her across fashion, interiors and specialist leatherwork, with her work featured in publications including Vogue and Wallpaper*. Through Offland, she now brings those skills to beautifully considered pieces made with craftsmanship and longevity firmly in mind.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have picked up a proper introduction to the craft and, more importantly, leave wearing a belt you made yourself.
No mass production. No identical accessories. Just good leather, traditional skills and something made by you.

Really enjoyed my time, the best soap making event! All the ingredients were natural. The teacher was very helpful and patient. Thank you.
Great experience, very nice and caring master, relaxing atmosphere. Good materials and instructions, totally worth it
I bought this workshop as a birthday present for a friend and it was such a fun afternoon. Claire was very helpful with telling us all we needed to know to make our own soaps. A great gift (where you end up with more gifts to give away!).
The event was easy to book through the telephone once we had the code. The hotel was beautifully presented and the staff were excellent. The food was very typical of afternoon teas but there was only one each of four cakes where there is normally one of each. We added the glass of champagne and the whole meal passed of very well with no problems. We might have preferred a couple of extra cakes and only one scone each but that is probably a personal point.
I went for a treat to myself. Even going alone i didn’t feel unwelcome. Another craft to my bow. I love upcycling and China charity shopping, so this will purge me on
An interesting, informative and enjoyable evening sketching jellyfish! What amazing creatures. Lovely atmosphere at the London Aquarium reproducing them onto paper. Great evening.
