Maker
I have been a leather craftsman and maker for over 25 years. My leatherwork studio is based in the tiny rural village of Thurning which is right on the cusp of the "Shoe-belt" of Northampshire, famous as a leatherwork and leather production country. We are just down the road from the factory featured in the film 'Kinky Boots' so for any leatherwork enthusiasts out there, this is your county! I teach in a London fashion college called The Marangoni Institute where my subject is leather-working techniques for accessories for the fashion degree students there. I also do part time bespoke event tuition at Northampton University.
