The leather workshop was truly fantastic! The instructor was very friendly, knowledgeable, and explained everything about leatherworking clearly. I had many questions about materials and techniques, and he answered each one thoroughly. The relaxed atmosphere made the three hours fly by. I definitely recommend this workshop!

The teacher was excellent. It was just my mother and me, so we had a private lesson. I’m very happy the class wasn’t canceled. Despite his limited English, he was very patient and carefully showed us each step. We are very proud of our work, and I’m grateful to the entire café team for their warm welcome and their help with the wheelchair ramps.
