I will be running a Personalised Leather Book workshop this summer.  Participants will be provided with a small plain paper journal (approximately 13cm x 9cm, 100 pages) which they will decorate with the initial of their name.

Participants will use leather needles and running stitch (or a stitch of their choice) to secure their initial to their chosen leather.

Requirements:  This workshop is suitable for anyone who can sew using simple running stitch.  All children must be accompanied by an adult. 



Creative Crafters

I had real fun selling my handcrafted leather designs at The Crouch End Festival. It was great to take part in this community event and to meet so many people who share my passion for colour and craft.  
Thank you to everyone who made the day special.

Melö Contemporary Handcrafted Leather Designs offers a diverse range of leather items that are not mass manufactured. These leather designs apply a fresh approach to traditional and contemporary stitching techniques, using bold colours, organic curves, shapes, patterns and the manipulation of the surface of leather.

Each item is handcrafted, created with great time and considerable patience. This is a reflection of the long and arduous process involved in the production of leather before it is worked by Melö. Leathers are chosen for their quality and texture.

Much passion, thought and consideration go into each item created by Melö Contemporary Handcrafted Leather Designs.
