"I attended a one-to-one workshop with Fenner in September to learn about basic leatherworking skills. Fenner was a really good tutor, taking things at my pace, explaining and demonstrating things clearly. I learnt a lot and had some support resources to take away with me. I would recommend Fenner’s course to anyone who is serious about learning how to work leather."

"This was an excellent course with one-to-one attention that gave me the knowledge and experience of techniques that I was seeking. Everything was very well explained and excellently organised."
- Shona, UK (★★★★★ Trustpilot Review)

"I found Fenner to be a good person to learn with, he is patient, and very knowledgeable about Leatherwork and was flexible to my requirements. The course itself was great, Fenner explained each aspect of Leatherworking to give me an understanding of each process. I was shown how to use tools learnt the basics of sewing, marking out, hole punching, riveting, so many other tools to mention. I'd recommend Fenner if you are interested in learning about Leatherwork or just fancy an Arts and Crafts session."

Alternatively, a booking deposit can be paid (amount varies depending on course type, venue, etc. but is usually around 30% of the tutorial price) with the balance to be paid at least one week before the tutorial. Only students who have paid in full and in advance will be allowed entry to an educational event.

CANCELLATION: If you need to cancel your attendance at an educational event please contact me ASAP to let me know - I will always do everything I can to accommodate a reschedule but please be aware that most of the venues that I use do not offer refunds for cencelled venue hire although they will usually allow the hire to be rearranged if provided enough notice.

If cancellation is made more than 14 calendar days prior to the event then often a reschedule is possible without incurring any additional costs. If attendance is cancelled closer than 14 calendar days to the event, then the booking deposit will be retained, and an additional booking fee will be payable if the tutorial is rescheduled.

Cancellations made within 24 hours before an event will not be eligible for any refund. In the circumstance where a student does not show at the arranged tutorial/workshop/event then the full balance as paid will be retained.
