Our leatherwork courses are taught through practical demonstrations and workshops in our dedicated studio, helping to provide students with the hand skills needed to pursue a career with a variety of employers such as luxury leather goods makers, equestrian suppliers, the British Army and fashion designers.
I really enjoyed the making aspects of my course. I now make bespoke leather goods for private clients and other companies, and I have also launched my own business selling made-to-order collections using leather sourced from British tanneries.Charlie studied saddlery during his time at Capel Manor College.
Master saddlers are trained, skilled and qualified to make and repair saddlery, ensuring a high quality of workmanship.
Harnessmakers craft harnesses and similar equipment for horses. They cut, assemble and join leather and other parts of the harness, following customer specifications regarding colour, thickness and size.
A loriner makes and sells bits, bridles, spurs, stirrups and the minor metal items of a horse’s harness, together with the saddle tree.
