WHAT IS THIS PRIVATE LEATHER COURSE ABOUT?
Are you looking for a creative and fun thing to do with your best friend, partner or family member? Or a gift experience idea for mum and dad or for a lovely duo who deserve a unique present?
You can book our leather craft course for two and bring whoever you like to learn the secrets of leather working together.
You can surprise your loved one with a personalised leather making course for two and bring home two finished items to remember the experience.
HOW DOES YOUR ONE TO TWO CLASS WORK?
This leather craft course for two is a unique way to spend some creative quality time with a loved one. Whether you are celebrating an anniversary, looking for a Saint Valentine or birthday gift idea or just want to do something different with a special person, this is a perfect way to relax, have fun and learn together!
You are able to customise the tuition to your needs by choosing the type of items you would like to make from the selection available and deciding your preferred day and time.
During this practical class, the couple will receive an overview of basic leather craft techniques and learn how to use essential tools while realising their own leather items to take home with them.
Interesting fact! Did you know that leather is the traditional gift to offer for a 3rd wedding anniversary? Leather effectively represents this stage of marriage because it is a strong, flexible and durable material and the 3rd wedding anniversary is often when a couple becomes most acutely – and reassuringly – aware of the durability of their relationship.
WHAT DOES THE COURSE INCLUDE:
The course includes the cost of the tuition and the private use of the whole workshop, tools and materials.
If this is a surprise gift for your loved one, we can create a digital invitation with your personalised message, just send us an email with your order number and what you would like us to write!
