Highlights
  • Middelstegracht 89J - At the start of this distinctive workshop, you’ll be welcomed into my charming and cozy leather studio. With a coffee or tea in hand, I’ll walk you through the steps we’ll take during the session. I’ll also introduce you to the tools and materials you’ll be using throughout the process.

You’ll have the chance to select a piece of genuine leather from my small “leather market,” which offers a variety of colors and thicknesses. Once you’ve chosen your leather, we’ll work together step by step, with me overseeing your project and providing assistance as needed to ensure your bag is crafted professionally. At the end of the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to personalize your creation with various engraving options—how special is that!

This unique workshop offers a fun and accessible way to learn the basics of leathercrafting. And the best part: you’ll leave with your very own handmade leather bag!

NOTE:

  • If the schedule doesn’t suit you, message me and we’ll find a time that does.
  • We also offer vegan leather!

Great Adventure - I had a course at Leerzaam, during my holidays, it was really fun, I made a Handbag with the help of Emma, she explained everything very well! aswell she's such a nice and calm person. I really enjoyed my time over there, we got to learn every step, and always received help when needed. I can highly recommend booking in for a course yourself, it's possible for everyone to received a beautiful piece by the end of the day. Thank you 😊

Amazing and exciting experience - Amazing experience. We had a lot of fun crafting our own bag in our style and with our own personal finishing touch. Great guidance by the host. At the end we left with a great feeling of satisfaction and excitement for what we made.

Fingers and thumbs - Emma thanks so much you made our experience fantastic you welcomed us into your home and never lost patience with my lack of sewing expertise!!! Your knowledge and expertise was awesome ( the coffee chocolates weren't bad either.) For a 2 hr experience we were around 4 hours and loved every second and never once felt rushed. We came away with a great iPad cover and bag which we will treasure as (nearly all our own work ) Therapeutic it certainly was Highly recommended !!!!
