Practical short courses in contemporary leather, handbags and fashion accessories design, taught at her Central London studio by Katherine Pogson.
“Excellent – a realty broad introduction to leather work– informal and relaxed which meant we were all relaxed too. I thought the day could be longer but I was really happy and inspired to carry this on and work on some more projects.”
Matt, Leather accessories weekend, June 2011
“Simply amazing. Under Katherine’s seasoned guidance, I have hand-made my very own leather handbag that has given me so much personal satisfaction. It’s my new carry-all bag and its classic look will go with my whole wardrobe. So pleased!”
Michelle, April 2011
“It was the best course I ever did and I enjoyed it so much.”
Meena, February 2011
“If you are thinking about starting up a business in bag-making I would strongly recommend this course as it gives an overall understanding of the process including the most intricate aspects of designing and building a bag.”
Paola, January 2011
“I really loved the weekend, and I’m now raring to go. No-one could believe that I had actually made a bag, and they were even more amazed when they saw it. It’s given me the knowledge and confidence to get going and I’m going to do some (if not all!) of the projects in your book.”
Jill, Leather accessories weekend, June 2011
“I had a wonderful weekend. The course was to my expectation and more. I am happy you have given me a lot to think and progress on my own. I have already recommended you to many.”
Alison, Leather accessories weekend, June 2011
“Thanks to you I am in love with dot and cross paper – I have also learned patience from you, thank you, Katherine. PS – I no longer have a lovely large dining room – it is now my studio!!”
Jane, January 2011
“I have been really enthused since attending your handbag course and have been busy developing a range of handbags that I am hoping soon to be able to create and sell.”
Shula, November 2010
“Love the fact that whatever I dream up as a project Katherine is game to support and help me. She is very patient and flexible and gives very high quality advice and assistance.”
Dawn, March 2011
“Katherine is a true mentor, and her approach to the course really allowed me to explore my own creative interests. I am still amazed by what I managed to learn in a relatively short span of time.”
Chan, January 2011
“I very much enjoyed the course and learned a lot from it. I liked the freestyle nature in that we could explore and create our own designs by practising techniques we were shown. ”
Sonia, April 2011
“Really enjoyed the weekend. Learnt a lot of useful techniques and managed to practise them. I was so enthused by the knowledge – I am currently eagerly awaiting your book to arrive.”
Jacqui, Leather accessories weekend, June 2011
“Thank you so much for the course this weekend – I really enjoyed it and found it very helpful and informative. I also enjoyed being with such a friendly and interesting group of people. The way you structured the course was really great and I really felt I learned a lot.”
Sarah, Leather accessories weekend, June 2011
“I enjoyed the experimental approach and the flexibility, and this seemed to lead to more creative outcomes across the group; the end products were varied and interesting and personal to their makers. I found it very helpful speaking to you before the course to get an idea of what to expect – this wasn’t the case on other courses I looked into – and it was as you described it, yet, I managed to get more done than I had imagined!”
Imogen, Leather accessories weekend, June 2011
“I was delighted with the choice of leather and the amount of tools to use. I did not have to wait for ages for something to become available. I guess that was down to the perfect size of the group. I thought it covered the basics well and gave me great enthusiasm to teach myself further.”
Louise, Leather accessories weekend, February 2011
“Katherine really listens to each student’s needs and project outline. She also shared her own tips (great handouts and resource guides) and experiences, helped with material selection and sourcing which really kick-started the whole process quickly. Also, it was really great to see and learn from each other. Keeping it within a small group environment really helps you to develop your pace of working.”
