WORK IN THE STUDIO

Our showroom and workshop space, is made with the purpose of encouraging and communicating the arts of handcrafting and leather crafting. Through our carefully curated workshops, people can acquire their own knowledge and understanding of leather craft. With guidance and care, we would like to see people procure their own relationship and skills with the materials and tools, to learn processes and techniques, that can be applied to their own projects and shared with others. We would also like to encourage communication between artisans, craftspeople, artists and creatives of all backgrounds, to stimulate a dialogue through collaboration around common interests, of sustainability, quality and longevity.

Our workshops are run from our studio in East London (Hackney), and consist of guided sessions lasting 3 hours.

We can arrange group workshops of 4 to 6 people or one-on-one tuition (larger group bookings are available on request). Our workshops will see you using high quality tools, and vegetable tanned leather.

Through a series of workshops, we aim to see people procure their own relationship with materials, tools, processes and techniques, that can be applied to their own needs and shared with others.

Each three hour session costs £150 for one to one tuition, or £90 per person for a group workshop. Workshops run from Thursdays to Sundays.

Our workshops allow you to work on your own projects, with our guidance to help your dreams to become reality. All you need is an idea, and we will help you to bring it to life.

To arrange a one to one session or group workshop, please email info@thebackwardvendor.com, detailing what your project is, and let us know what what days are best for you.

*Please note that some projects will take longer than one three hour session.
