Customer Reviews
I had a great time in this class. Everything was provided to make the belt, the space was comfortable and tidy. Nick was an excellent instructor!
We ( a group of 4 people) took the class for one of our birthdays. All of us, with varying degrees of leather work abilities, had a great time under Nick’s guidance and each of us walked out of class with our own belt, made by our own hands! Highly recommend.
This class was a lot of fun and I absolutely love the belt. I'm looking forward to attending other classes in the future!
Nick is an excellent teacher, and great at meeting each participant where they are skill and knowledge wise.
We always love taking the kinds of classes where you make something you'll actually use, and learn skills that are timeless.
I’ll be the first to admit precision isn’t my forte, but Nick kindly and patiently walked me through each step. It was fun to learn a little bit more about leather and come away with a belt I now wear at least three times a week! Really enjoyed the small class size and careful attention Nick paid to all his students.
