Leathercraft Courses and Day Workshops. Practical skills training for entrepreneurs and casual crafters.

This course is the perfect introduction to making traditional leather goods as well as fashion accessories. The best foundation from where you can practice leathercraft as a fun hobby, supplement income, or establish your own brand and business in the HandCraft Industry. It will provide you with the core skills to make leather products and lay a sound foundation for progressing to more advanced projects. Although the course is designed to teach specific skills and techniques, the approach is adapted to suit individual preferences and abilities, avoiding a "one-size-fits-all" model. Visit our website www.capeleathertraining.co.za for detailed information.

April creatives 1.1 😉.

What better way to treat your Mom during her visit to South Africa ❣️❓
Julia & her mom, Wilma, crafted precious memories and gorgeous bags at our studio in Bellville.

They were joined by our special friend Sharon, who finally got to make her Birthday Backpack 🎒. Shans, it is always such a joy crafting with you.

We also popped in at Bellville's secret gems:
Alta du Toit Centre's Charity Shop - Alta Sjiek
Brave Co Coffee Shop,
and Down with Dough for the best bargains, refreshments and treats.

It was lovely sharing our passion with these three ladies. YOU CAN make bags too...
