GDH Leather Courses – About Page
Who we are and what we do
GDH Leather Courses is Pembrokeshire’s original leatherwork course provider and is run by Gaynor Davies-Howell of GDH Leatherwork Ltd. Our courses and tuition, once run from an old village chapel in Pembrokeshire, now take place in a smaller workshop in the beautiful seaside town of Aberaeron.
We offer professional tuition in traditional leatherwork skills and have been running one-to-one and group courses since 2010. Our previous and popular, Leather Bag Making Course has been featured in ‘The Guardian’s ‘Do Something‘ supplement, on The Lady Magazine website, and in many popular national and local magazines. For your added reassurance, we also have some very happy students who have left glowing *reviews at the bottom of each course page.
Want to attend in-person?
Since 2025 we have replaced our in-person group courses with one-to-one, bespoke tuition allowing our students to choose a particular leather-working skill they wish to learn or improve on. Contact us to book a half or a full day in the workshop. We’re easy to find, have free parking and it’s just a short walk into town for a spot of lunch beside the harbour.
How Does Online Tuition Work?
We also offer half-day, online courses with student numbers of just 3 or 4 per course.
