Leathercraft Workshop at Mason and Fifth

A hands-on introduction to leathercraft where you'll make your own small leather piece from scratch...

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

Small project. Proper skills. Something made entirely by you.

Join award-winning accessories designer and Offland founder Rowan Ceridwen Sharp for an intimate introduction to leatherworking, where you’ll learn the fundamentals of the craft while making a small leather piece to take home.

Think a beautifully simple keyring, card holder or another compact leather accessory, made by hand and designed to be used long after the workshop is over. 

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS WORKSHOP?

This is your chance to get properly hands-on with leatherworking without needing any previous experience.

Rowan will introduce you to the tools, materials and techniques behind traditional leathercraft, guiding you through the process of cutting, shaping, punching and finishing your piece. You’ll learn how leather behaves, how clean edges and details are created, and how individual components come together to make something both practical and beautifully finished.

Rowan trained at Cordwainers and was named Jimmy Choo Accessories Designer of the Year. Her career spans fashion, interiors and specialist leatherwork, with her work featured in publications including Vogue and Wallpaper*. Through Offland, she now brings those years of experience into workshops designed to make traditional leather skills approachable, creative and genuinely enjoyable.

By the end, you’ll leave with a finished leather piece made by your own hands, plus a proper introduction to a craft that’s very easy to get hooked on.
