We understand that, when starting a new project or gaining new skills, people do not necessarily want to invest in buying the entire range of tools and machines needed.
That is why we give the possibility to our students of hiring our machines and workspace inside the studio.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SERVICE IS RESERVED FOR OUR STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED ON THE MACHINES.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
When hiring our facilities, we are happy to provide you with some assistance in case of problems with the machines, but you will have to be independent while practising/working.
We will not be able to assist you with your project.
AVAILABILITY:
Our workshop hiring service works on a pay as you go basis, without any subscription or extra fees and is available from a minimum of just two hours.
Machines and space are available to rent on weekdays from 9am to 6pm.
SPACE & EQUIPMENT:
The space is provided with three cutting tables and industrial sewing machines and our leather selection can be purchased at a discounted price when renting our facilities (5% off all full priced leather).
Our studio is an intimate space where you can focus on your own work without any distraction. In fact, we only allow one visitor at a time (or max 2 people if you work in a team) and you would only be sharing the space with us.
You will be given the full use of a cutting table and will be able to use the machine(s) you need.
You can find the complete equipment list below on this page.
COST:
The rental is charged at £18 per hour and it includes the use of the machines and a cutting table. You will need to bring you own tools and materials.
AVAILABILITY:
Waiting time for renting usually varies from 3 to 5 weeks depending on how many hours are required and how busy we are during that time of the year.
HOW TO BOOK AND PAY:
You can book your session at our studio by emailing us, providing your full name, phone number and specifying how many hours you would like to rent a space for and what machines you will need to use.

I had a brilliant two days at the London Leather workshop, being taught by Sara. Her teaching was excellent, the resources and materials were first rate and the atmosphere was really welcoming. I am delighted with the bag I made and will definitely be returning for more. I would warmly recommend the workshop to anyone interested in learning about leather craft.

I recently attended the 2-day Learn Professional Leather Craft Skills, Leather Sewing and Construction Techniques course. It was an amazing experience. Sara was our instructor and she explained each step clearly, making it really easy to follow along. I loved that the class was very hands-on, and I came away with new skills and a finished piece I’m really proud of. The atmosphere was friendly, supportive, and fun, which made learning even more enjoyable. I’d highly recommend this workshop to anyone curious about leathercraft or looking to try something new and creative!

Sara was our primary instructor for the Leathercraft skills course and it was an excellent experience. She explained all concepts clearly for beginners, and helped us build practical skills. She is a great instructor, patient and knowledgeable, and she shares tidbits and lessons from her years as a leather crafts expert. I am now excited to take another class and learn more about working with leather!
