We are excited to share that Shelley will be offering an exclusive series of leather workshops across Wales this winter (2025-2026) as a fundraiser for Welsh Women's Aid in the lead up to London Marathon in 2026, where she will be representing the charity.
Course Details:

Leave with your own hand crafted and fully functional medieval style leather drinking flask as well as the fundamental skills to start any leatherworking project of your own.
