Maker's bio

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.

Ivy reviewed: Canvas Haversack making workshop

"Justin is a fantastic teacher. I spent a very enjoyable day in his lovely home crafting a remarkable canvas and leather haversack which is totally unique. I learned a variety of new skills-heavy duty sewing, die cutting leather and riveting among them. Justin helped me choose materials colours, etc (of which there are many) and was very encouraging kind and easy to talk to. And to top it all a lovely home cooked lunch. I would highly recommend this course, it was my first but will definitely not be the last! Thank you Justin ❤️"

Justin Capp responded:

"Thank you Ivy, I really enjoyed it and enjoyed meeting you , you did a great job too. I hope you get a lot of good use from your haversack and look forward to seeing you again, thanks for recommending to your friends. Justin"

Nicole reviewed: hand stitched and carved double wallet

"Incredibly beautiful and well equipped workshop, and thoroughly nice chap. Highly skilled. Justin went above and beyond to help me achieve a beautiful result from my project and the best materials and techniques. The project wasn’t one ‘officially’ offered but this was accommodated no problem. Justin really went out of his way to be helpful and it was a wonderful experience, thank you! "

Justin Capp responded:

"Thank you Nicole, it was a pleasure working with you I really enjoyed it. Justin "
