Belt Making Class
Had the most incredible time! The teacher was extremely knowledgable and I got to learn about all the steps in depth and had the teacher's whole attention to pep talk me through each step. Got to dye the leather and stamp a design! A much more rewarding experience than slapping together some metal and leather. If you're looking for leather or metal working classes go to Nazz Forge you won't regret it!! -
Craft a Custom Leather Bag (Introduction to Leatherwork)
The instructor explained all the steps very clearly. I was a little slower than the other people in the class but he made sure that I knew what was going on still. -
Leather Tote Bag
I really enjoyed the class. The teacher was so kind and helpful, giving me great advice for each step! Highly recommend the class, I use the bag I made pretty much everyday! -
Craft a Custom Leather Wallet (Intro to Leatherwork)
Fantastic! Not only is the class well taught but our instructor was also kind, supporting, compassionate and very patient. Without any kind of previous experience we simply had to follow her guidance to create beautiful card holders. Thanks again, I am coming back soon! -
Craft a Custom Leather Bag (Introduction to Leatherwork)
This class was so much fun! I had no idea what to expect going into it. The instructors were friendly and helpful. And I absolutely love my new tote bag. -
Belt Making Class
I loved the extensive training on dyeing the leather belt. I've taken other leather working class and they usually concentrate on the cutting, gluing/stitching. But honestly, the color is often the most important part. The difference between a commercial product and something that looks like you made it yourself is often the dye. If you want to experience the dyeing process, this is the class to take. -
Wallet Making Workshop
The instructor allowed each of us to create our own small leather project. I ended up making a subclass case. She taught me enough basic skills to feel comfortable investing in leather working as a hobby. I still make small leather goods today! -
Craft a Custom Leather Bag (Introduction to Leatherwork)
Ranger was fantastic! I would take another class with them any day. In between clear instructions and the fire playlist they let us take the lead on the sewing machines and helped us order food from a local spot so we didn't starve. Would definitely recommend this class. -

Craft a Custom Leather Wallet (Intro to Leatherwork)
My adult son and I took this class and loved it. We picked our leather, cut it and hand sewed the wallet. The instructor was patient and kind - I messed up quit a bit.

Shoemaking (Beginner) - Mondays
Amazing class! If you want to learn shoes - come. Basically you get work at your own pace individualized instruction in shoemaking. If I can afford to (and this is the best bang for you buck class in NYC) I will keep re-enrolling in this class, as I learn something new with each pair of shoes I make -
Shoemaking (Beginner) - Sundays
The output of the class is great - you learn a new skill and finish with a real, wearable shoe. But the other students are the best part of the class. People come from all sorts of backgrounds (finance, artists, writers, engineers, fashion, medicine, students) and it is inspiring to see their creativity and how each person's personality comes through in the shoes they've designed. More than I've experienced in any other class in New York, there is a real community that has been created in Emily's class. -
Basic Leather Tote Bag Making
Lona was very friendly and patient with everybody. She was also very flexible with the designs and encouraged to try various design details. This class was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it. -

Emily Putterman is an amazing teacher who gives her all to each student. Hats off to her! My boots came out awesome!! -
Leather Working 101
Kat is extremely knowledgeable, and the class was a great introduction to the tools and basic skills needed to begin working with leather. It was more about pattern making and figuring out how to work with leather than about any one specific tool or tooling. Kat was very thoughtful in her approach and addressed everyone’s needs individually. She also had great resources to share for those of us who wanted to continue taking up leatherworking. -
Bag Making & Bubbly Brunch
AMAZING!!! Lorna is an awesome teacher! Bubbly, laughs and two beautiful pieces to take home...that I made! A++ -
After Workshop: Leather Wallet
Kat was an awesome instructor! She was friendly, easy to follow, and taught us a lot of techniques in a short amount of time as we worked on our wallets. I made more of a clutch and I like how it came out. There were five of us in the class and that was a good number because she had time to spend with everyone, answering questions and helping us as we reached different stages of our work. Overall, great class! -
Cardholder Making
One of the best classes I've taken. The cardholder you make looks super professional and you learn from a talent artist / designer / creator. Plus it's so fun to learn the technique which you can use to make other items. I look forward to taking another class with Hena. -
