  • 5/5 from Nishna Kommoju, attended Sep 2025: I signed up for another Cuirated workshop after enjoying the initial keychain crafting workshop hoping to make another useful and beautiful custom item. The custom wallet felt like a new challenge and something I could carry and use every day, so I felt really excited for the crafting aspect in addition to being able to use the final item. Tom was a fantastic teacher and host again; he introduced the craft with a presentation of the materials and tools similar to the keychain workshop. He introduced a new concept, edge-painting, and explained how it worked which made me even more excited to create such a high quality item without very much experience. Picking out my leather pieces was one of many highlights since I got to choose the most beautiful gold leather as the inner material with a matte black for the outside of the wallet. I felt like I was able to do a lot of the crafting on my own but when I needed help, Tom was quick to step in with guidance. It was a great balance of being able to try new skills on my own while also getting support that wasn't just Tom doing the tricky parts for me. The finishing touches were getting my initials stamped into the inside of the wallet which I loved since it made the wallet feel truly custom. It was so much fun taking a mini photoshoot with the rest of the group; it brought us together as we tried different ways to show off our new wallets and take tons of pictures. I left feeling connected to my group and made plans to do another group craft together as soon as Tom releases another project. I highly recommend booking this workshop with friends or even as a small work group since it had enough structure to stay on track with finishing the project while also having just enough time to chat during different steps. I'm so excited for the next workshop and can't wait to see what we make next!
  • 5/5 from Bradley Wang, attended Sep 2025: Tom brought to the table both amazing energy and knowledge today. I learned a lot about the tools and material we were working with, and Tom is the kind of person that always seems to have something unique to share both about the leatherworking itself and in life outside of it. My girlfriend and I attended both this and a prior keychain session together and will cherish the items we made and brought home from both forever!

My journey into leathercrafting began with a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and leather. I love sourcing different types of leather and exploring how their unique properties make them perfect for creating quality items.
The idea to teach came naturally. I’d crafted pieces for friends, and one day someone asked, “Can you show me how to make one?” That turned into a group keychain-making hangout, which turned into more events and eventually, into Cuirated. Now I teach leathercrafting workshops that help people slow down, connect, and make something beautiful with their own hands.
I studied abroad in Paris, where I fell in love with tradition and the craftsmanship of European leatherwork. The name “Cuirated” is a nod to that—cuir means leather in French, and I curate every material we use.
Whether you’re brand new to crafting or just curious, I’ll guide you step by step. You’ll leave with a finished leather good and a newfound appreciation for the joys of creating.
