Maker


My background is in engineering on the railway. I have always been hands on. Due to ill health, I retired from the railway. I have always been making things . My partner brought a 2 day leather course which I thoroughly enjoyed. I went on to try my hand at tooling/stamping leather. I practiced until I had reached a good standard. I was then asked to teach so that gave me a huge confidence to start teaching hand tooling. I am enjoying teaching others through the process which I have learnt for myself and can now pass on. I have recently started a Tiktok account which will show my new project of armour making for LARPS and Cosplay
