1-Day Bag Making Workshop
I Can Make Bags in-person workshops! 🌟
Hosted in our lovely London studio, we're opening doors to a limited number of students who want to learn the craft of bag making in person.
Learn to craft your own luxury handbag in our 1-Day Bag Making Taster Workshop, situated in the heart of London.
Specifically tailored for complete beginners, this workshop is designed to give you a taste of leather bagmaking in a 5 hour hands-on workshop.
Our commitment to excellence goes beyond teaching; we take pride in maintaining small class sizes, ensuring each participant receives personalised attention and dedicated one-on-one time with our expert instructor.
Workshop Structure
Our workshops run for 5 consecutive days from 10am to 4pm, with a 1-hour lunch break.
10am - Lunch
In the first part of this workshop, you will choose from our selection of beautiful leathers. You'll then cut your lining in preparation for assembling your bag.
After Lunch - 4pm
The second part of the course will be all about assembling the bag. In this workshop we will be constructing the bags using a flatbed sewing machine. You will also add any hardware and finishing touches to your bag.
What bag will I make?
During this workshop you will make a zip-up shoulder bag. It's the perfect day-to-night bag and is fully lined 😉
You'll be able to select your leather from a whole range of options and can even BYO lining so you can totally personalise your bag!
LINING: We have plain lining available to use in the workshop or you are welcome to BYO lining to jazz up the inside of your bag. We recommend a heavy(ish) cotton approx 50 x 50cm.
