CURIOUSLY CREATIVE Make Your Own Leather Accessories by Rosanna Clare

MORE ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

‘Being creative has always been in my blood and is something I was inevitably going to do’, muses Rosanna Clare, founder and creator of Rosanna Clare Leather Workshops. Despite starting off in the graphic design world, Rosanna finally found her way into the art of leather crafting after a day at Spitalfields market. Looking at the stalls of handmade goods, she found herself drawn to the unique designs and quality of the material used, particularly the leather bags. Unable to afford any of these gorgeous accessories, she located a stall with a man selling hides of leather. ‘There were all sorts of colours and textures, shapes and sizes,’ she says ‘and I remember the overwhelming and amazing smell’.Now, over three years later, Rosanna has a growing portfolio of designs behind her name, selling her bags and accessories on Etsy and providing leather-making workshops to those who wish to share her love of crafting and creating from scratch. During your leather crafting workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to make three leather accessories including a case (card/phone/glasses), tassel keyring and item of jewellery (bracelet/earrings) or luggage tag. Under the expert tuition and guidance of Rosanna, you’ll be shown precisely how to use the materials and tools to create a unique design. With tea and coffee to keep you going, this experience is the perfect activity for a birthday, hen party or a great excuse for a girls’ day out.
