Come along to The Making Mill for a hands-on leatherworking workshop with Rowan Ceridwen Sharp, founder of Offland, a clothing and accessories label rooted in craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
Discover the art of leatherworking and create a unique, personalised accessory to gift to yourself or for someone special this Christmas! Choose from a range of projects, such as a keyring, wallet or book cover, and learn the skills and techniques needed to bring your own design to life.
Whether you're a complete beginner or simply curious to try something new, this relaxed, creative workshop is a chance to slow down, get hands-on and make something meaningful that will last.
This workshop reflects Offland’s wider creative identity and a more personal connection to the objects we wear, highlighting how accessories can complement your personal style.

All materials are provided, and you'll leave with a handmade leather accessory of your own.
About Rowan Ceridwen Sharp:
Rowan Ceridwen Sharp is the founder and creative director of Offland, a British clothing and leather accessories label focused on craftsmanship, durability and timeless design.
Growing up around her family’s boat business on the River Mersey, Rowan developed an early connection to boats and life on the water, which continues to influence Offland’s identity.
After studying womenswear fashion, she specialised in leather craftsmanship, graduating with First Class Honours from Cordwainers and receiving the Jimmy Choo Designer of the Year Award in 2015.
Her expertise in leatherworking and accessory design forms the foundation of Offland’s leather accessory workshops, where she guides participants through traditional making techniques and encourages them to create their own bespoke pieces. Through her work, Rowan brings together fashion, practical skills and a slower, more considered approach to making objects designed to last.
She currently has a residency in Mason & Fifth, Westbourne Park, London and will be in Hebden Bridge throughout December as maker in residence at The Making Mill and at Antonia Interiors, Hebble End Works (along the canal).
