I learnt so much that week and the teaching methods of Christine and Amanda are such that they make what is a very technical process, very enjoyable to learn and the knowledge stays with you.
You come away with wonderful learning material and examples of the leather the group has made in the week. Also along with learning the tanning process the characteristics of the different leathers, possible problems and testing methods are also covered, so you leave after 5 days with a very rounded appreciation of leather. The hands on learning means you really appreciate what goes into making leather”. Claire Langford 8.09 email testimonial to BTAA.

You come away with wonderful learning material and examples of the leather the group has made in the week. Plus along with learning the tanning process the characteristics of the different leathers, possible problems and testing methods are also covered, so you leave after 5 days with a very rounded appreciation of leather. The hands on learning means you really appreciate what goes into making leather". Well done to leatherwise for the courses you run.
