SIMPLE SHAPE x ARTISANS LEATHER PURSE WORKSHOP
LEATHER COIN PURSE WORKSHOP
Thursday 7th December | 7pm - 9pm | £37
We are joining forces for the very first time with the super cool leather craft collective Artisans to bring you this leather coin purse making workshop. Come on your own or bring a friend and make yourself (or someone lucky) a little leather gift.
THE WORKSHOP:
You can choose whether you stitch a black or tan leather coin purse (no need to decide now, you can decide on the night) and one of Artisans creatives will guide you through each step. At the end you will have a tongue-poking leather purse to store those stray coins.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING: Everything you’ll need will be provided, as will a glass of fizz.
SKILLS: You don’t need any experience just your enthusiasm.
NOTES: This will be a fun, friendly and probably a little bit festive feeling couple of hours. You will be greeted with a glass of fizz and leave with a finished product.
THE DETAILS:
DATE: Thursday 07 December 2023
TIME: 7pm - 9pm
COST: £37 (includes: leather coin purse, plus a glass of fizz + an ‘Artisans’ canvas tote)

Utterly beautiful, super smooth coffee scoop. Hand carved from Sycamore and finished with food safe organic flax seed oil mixed with beeswax. Each scoop is slightly different to the next, the natural flaws in the wood are what give each scoops its character. This is THE gift for a coffee lover, if you know that person or if that’s you then you really need this. That’s it really, now, will it be sycamore or walnut?

Working with arborists, with sawmill offcuts and with storm fallen woodland timber means that you never know exactly what you will get. Slow Made Goods, based in Norfolk, takes the very best of the woods available and these walnut scoops are carefully hand-carved, highly polished and finished with food safe organic flax seed oil mixed with beeswax. Each scoop is slightly different to the next, the natural flaws in the wood are what give each scoops its character. So the question is, will it be the dark walnut scoop or the soft sycamore scoop for your coffee ritual?
