Diamond Awl Leather Workshop

An absolutely brilliant four day course. Informative, expert guidance & a very considerate teacher. Day one I had doubts that I could produce the item we were to make. Four days later, Jason’s excellent tuition gave me the gift of joy at seeing what I am capable of with such considered teaching. A thousand thank you’, I highly recommend Jason’s courses, & will be back for more.

I had a fantastic two day course with Jason. He is an absolute expert in his field, super knowledgeable and easy to learn from. We made a cross body bag and he was patient throughout. His workshop is in a fabulous location , tea and coffee provided as was lunch on both days. I’m super proud of my nag, which is made from scratch, with hand sewing. We were joined by Louise on the second day who is absolutely lovely, very knowledgeable and helpful. I’m coming back for the backpack course!

I attended the 4 day course and was amazed at the knowledge and skill Jason has with leather. His passion for his craft and mental health is so clear and has encouraged me to continue with leather work. In just 4 days I have learned so much and achieved much more than I thought possible thanks to the excellent teaching. The location is fantastic and the website had lots of helpful links and recommendations for fantastic accommodation which made it all such an easy process. I’d highly recommen...

I had a wonderful time with Jason and Louise on the two-day bag making course. The course was a brilliant experience to try leather working for the first time in a fully-equipped workshop. They are both skilled and patient and I was amazed at what I produced (with expert help) in the end. Thank you!!!

I had a wonderful experience on the 4 day course making a beautiful weekend bag. Jason and Louise were both passionate, knowledgable and lovely to work with. The studio was such an inspiring, relaxed environment and I have come away buzzing with creative ideas and the skills required to make them happen. A truly life-affirming week and testament to the benefits of the creative process for ones mental health.
