The workshop in detail
Join Natasha for a workshop where you'll create and personalize your own bag.
The day begins with an introduction to Natasha and her brand Tencloudy, providing insight into her journey and inspirations. You'll then choose your favorite colors and gather the necessary tools to start your project.
Start by cutting out the pieces for your bag. Natasha will guide you through this process to ensure you have the perfect shapes for your design. Next, trim the edges of your leather pieces to prepare them for a professional finish.
After preparing the edges, you will buff and seal them to give your bag a smooth, polished look. Personalize your bag by embossing or printing your initials, making it truly unique.
With your pieces ready, use a stitching chisel to create the sewing holes.
Following a short lunch break, during which Natasha will glue the gussets for you, you'll sew the pieces together under her expert guidance.
Once your bag is assembled, polish the outer edges for a final touch of refinement. Cut out and attach the strap to complete the structure of your bag.
Finally, Natasha will teach you leather care techniques to ensure your bag stays in great condition.
Come and join Natasha for a day of creation!

Meet Natasha
Leather artisan
Natasha's journey to craftsmanship is as unique as her creations. Her childhood love of fashion combined with a university degree in engineering set the stage for an unconventional path. Years of experience in branding and marketing agencies, an unplanned move to London and an MA in Fashion Business Management from Westminster University - all while raising two children - have provided her with a rich tapestry of creative inspiration.
The turning point came when she attended a masterclass in bag making : this experience ignited her passion. She continued to hone her skills through courses at the London School of Fashion and extensive tutoring and collaboration with renowned luxury bag maker and technologist Stephanie Freude. These experiences have shaped her distinctive style and led to the creation of her brand.
Natasha creates beautiful objects from leather, textiles and other materials and is inspired by the intersection of fashion, design and art. Join her for a creative workshop and make your own creation !
