Recent reviews of Handmade Leather Wallet Workshop

  • 5/5 from Juliana Sullivan, attended Feb 2025: This class was great!! We had a great time and lit the instructor was super kind and patient with us as new students.
  • 5/5 from Marichelle Castillo, attended Aug 2024: Went for a post 3rd wedding anniversary date night since traditional 3 year gift is leather. My husband and I were the only 2 signed up for this class so it was extra nice to get a private workshop. Our teacher Kit was great to work with.. very knowledgeable and explained every step of the process.. even did a wallet with us as we made our own, all while still helping us with ours. He supplied everything needed.. the leather, the snaps, and all the tools, and had a great selection of different color leathers to choose from. Eventhough we ran late finishing our wallets, he never made us feel rushed. Absolutely recommend taking his workshop and would even consider doing another class myself making purses or something else.
  • 5/5 from Casey Raymond, attended Mar 2024: My dad and I had so much fun at this workshop! Kit and team were super helpful and we learned a lot. Love the wallets we made as well as the extra card holder. The vibe was immaculate with the music. Class size was perfect and the studio was very clean and organized. Also, paid parking ($30 for up to 19 hrs) was super convenient and located in the parking deck next door. We had a blast! Would totally do this again!
  • 5/5 from Nicole Montesino, attended Jan 2024: This was such a fun class! Kit was very nice, helpful, and made sure we all understood the steps! I recommend this class for anyone looking to do something fun and different!
  • 5/5 from Denise Girardo, attended Jan 2024: Absolutely loved this class. After choosing the leather and thread, then cutting, Kit shared his knowledge of leathermaking using the different processes and tools (many which he created) necessary to finish off the leather before assembling and stitching our beautiful wallets. It was so much fun. I highly recommend this class and will definitely be going back!
  • 5/5 from Tia-Marie Pino, attended Jan 2024: This class was great! It was so informative and fun! They took their time to explain everything in perfect detail and made you feel comfortable every step of the way. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn about leather working.
  • 5/5 from Greg Puccio, attended Jan 2024: My girlfriend and I loved this class. It was our first time making anything with leather and it was a great time! Kit was an excellent instructor, full of fun stories and great tips. We were able to complete the class in just over 3 hours and really enjoyed the whole process from selecting materials, to building a small card holder and then finally making a full minimalistic wallet. Highly recommend this to do as a date night activity!
  • 5/5 from Paloma Almodovar, attended Jan 2024: This class was great! My boyfriend and I were walked through how to make our own wallets. First, we got to choose among a wide variety of leathers, hardware and thread colors. Next, we made a minimalistic trial wallet to get familiar with all the techniques needed to move on to confidently making the wallets shown in the picture! You can tell Kit is very knowledgable and passionate about his craft and we learned a lot from this class. It was the perfect date activity, I highly recommend it!
