I love to share my knowledge of leather
My classes are rooted in traditional leather craft techniques, such as saddle stitching, burnishing edges, using a chisel and hole punch - and the projects are designed to reflect a timeless style that will age beautifully over time. Choose the leather, thread, and personalize your project to fit your life.

“I’m proud to say that i made it myself!”
“Awesome workshop! I really enjoyed learning how to create my purse step by step. The whole experience had such a great vibe, and it was amazing to see everything come together. I loved that I was actually able to create something nice (I thought I’d have to make another one to get it right). I love my new leather purse and am proud to say that I made it myself. Thank you!”

“I loved the workshop, it’s 100% hands-on and includes all the necessary materials. I highly recommend it.”
- Omar, Workshop at Palu Gallery, Sayulita
“Rad workshop! It was so much fun learning how to create a one-of-a-kind handmade belt with guidance throughout the whole process. Stoked on how it turned out, and the whole workshop was such a fun welcoming environment. Overall, a great experience and a perfect way to create a beautiful piece for yourself or as a gift. Learning the process and seeing the result was super rewarding. Thank you! Would definitely do another workshop.”
