About this tour
Learn leatherworking fundamentals from experienced craftspeople in a rural Balinese setting near Canggu or Seminyak. Over six hours, you'll shape and finish your own leather piece—a wallet, belt, or bag—under professional guidance, then take it home. The workshop sits amid rice paddies where the quiet landscape helps you focus on handiwork without the usual workshop noise.

- All tools and materials provided for the session

What to expect
You'll arrive at a working leather studio nestled among Balinese farmland. After a brief introduction to tools and techniques, you'll choose your project—typically a wallet, belt, or small bag—and begin shaping leather under watchful instruction. Expect hands-on work: cutting, stitching, tooling, and finishing. The pace is deliberate; craftsmanship takes time. Your guide will correct technique and troubleshoot as you go. Between focused work intervals, there's natural breathing room to absorb your surroundings and sip tea. By day's end, you'll have a wearable or usable object you've actually made.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting leather dust on. No special fitness required. Prams and strollers work fine if you're bringing small children, though the hands-on nature means you'll need free hands for actual work. Public transport links are available nearby if you're not using a driver or arranged pickup.
