Jo hand makes all of our leatherwork in her workshop in Wales. The knowledge she has gained from her years in the industry and her eye for perfection has lead her to winning a multitude of awards.

What our students are saying

I had and excellent and relaxing day with Jo learning the basics of leather craft.  I was surprised how much I learned, coming home with a quality journal cover made all by myself. The course is very practical and gets straight into creating which is great.

— Dale, Cheshire

I had a brilliant time on the one to one bridle making course. I learnt so much in such a short time due to Jo's patience and extensive knowledge. I can't wait to come back and learn more! 

— Jess, Leicestershire

The course was excellent, and I feel I have learned so much to help me on my journey. I really appreciate the flexibility you had over what we covered and I
cannot praise you highly enough.

— Steve, Worcestershire


I had been waiting for a while (due to lockdown) to visit Jo for a 1:1 and it was definitely worth the wait! Thoroughly enjoyed the whole day, learning to make dog collars and leads for my new business - I’ve now booked on for another course in the new year. I would recommend Jo all day long and wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

— Sasha, Surrey

This is the second course I have taken with Jo and I had some specific things in mind to cover. Being a Master of her craft Jo worked with me, showed me exactly what I needed to know. I would not hesitate to recommend!

— John, Yorkshire

I spent 2 days with Jo in her workshop. She very patiently taught me how to sharpen my tools before we then moved onto making a wallet, Jo was happy to modify her existing pattern to my requirements and to share her knowledge, tips and tricks along the way to give me the confidence to go away and continue making on my own.

— Ruth, Yorkshire


Measuring Guide

Ordering a bespoke dog collar or belt? Please read the measuring guide to ensure you order the correct size.

Dog Collars

When measuring for your new dog collar, the best option is to measure the internal length of a current collar adjusted to how you like it fitted. To do this, remove the collar from your dog and do it up at the desired fitting, then with a flexible tape measure measure around the inside of the collar. This length will be where the middle hole will fit on your new collar.

How to measure your dog collar
You can also measure around your dogs neck. Place the tape measure around your dogs neck where the collar will sit and to a tightness that you like.

We will use the measurements provided as the internal measurement and add 2 larger and 2 smaller holes for adjustment. 

Belts

The best way is to measure your current belt from the inside of the buckle to the hole that is used most. You can also use a tape measure and measure around your waist where your belt will sit.

We will add 3 larger and 3 smaller holes for adjustment.
