I’ve had an absolute amazing time at the workshop and it really made my trip to Florence extremely memorable in the best way possible!!! You’ve already been recommended to my friends and family! Thank you 💕💕 – Hadas

 

I booked a private leather session. My goal was to refine my skills because I do have some experience. I wanted to make a handbag pattern and then make that handbag. The class was taught by Francesca in her personal workshop. She was welcoming, hospitable, knowledgeable, and encouraging. She completely tailored the class to my skill level and needs. I picked up lots of useful information that will help me in the future: what type of interfacing will match with the leather, when to use glue (yes, glue), and where to skive for cleaner edges – Christine

 

I had such an amazing experience doing the leather crafting workshop!! i was able to learn so much about the different leathers in Florence while making such a cute wallet. They were so friendly and made the experience 10 times more enjoyable! I definitely recommend. – Madison
