I have been a leather worker for three decades, and my training classes exist to help me share the knowledge and experience Ive gained and the love of craft and process I still have. I want to share the lessons learned, the skills gained, the mistakes, the ups and the downs.

My aim is to help you develop the confidence, skills and knowledge you need to create and design leatherwork of your own that you can be proud of. Whether you’re a beginner just starting out or a new or seasoned pro looking to expand and refine your skills, I can help you reach your creative goals while minimising the pain, expense and frustration of the learning curve.

" My experience training with Charlie was more than I could have ever hoped for. The first day of instruction saved me YEARS of trial and error. He stayed my by side the entire week and watched every stitch I did. By doing that he was able to catch little mistakes I was making and correct them before they turned into a problem. I now officially can see if a stitch is going to go wrong before it even happens, and I know how to fix it."

“The workshop was a perfect place to learn! We had quiet one on one training with no distractions. The countryside that the workshop resides in is gorgeous. This wasn’t just a training for me, it was an incredible life experience. If you are on the fence, don’t hesitate! It’s worth your time and money! "
