Come and join us for a day of bright and breezy Tote Bag making. Perfect for days out, work commutes or browsing around the local market. This simple but stylish bag ticks lots of boxes!

Using the finest, soft, flexible British leather in a range of colours and finishes, this small, friendly course is great for all levels of experience from absolute beginner to improver, and will include cutting, stitching, designing and embossing.

Working in a small, friendly group with lots of individual attention and supervised individually by Catherine, this inspiring, one-day workshop is a great way to introduce yourself to working with leather.

Enjoy a productive and stimulating class for yourself and create a unique gift to take away and enjoy!

Please note there is a £14 material charge payable on the day.

What to expect

Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.

We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.

The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.

We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!

What you’ll need to bring with you

Everything will be provided for you so just bring yourself and some clothes that you don't mind working in.
