Workshops and Lectures

We offer customised workshops on sustainable leather for you and your company. We will design a day that gives you a comprehensive insight into the entire leather production process - from farming to hide preservation and tanning to leather finishing - tailored to your needs and requirements.

You will learn that there are big differences between different types of leather, and after our workshop you will not only understand the manufacturing process, but also have a comprehensive overview of the different types and properties of leather. 

Our aim is to dispel misconceptions and prejudices about leather and its production. Our workshops provide you and your team with in-depth knowledge to make informed decisions and better assess the sustainability and quality of leather products.

We are also happy to come to (higher) education institutions or companies to give a lecture, or to speak at panels, conferences and other purposeful events.

Feel free to write us a message if you would like to know more.
