Hands-On Leather Craft Training Helps South Africans Build Practical Skills

Many South Africans want practical skills they can use at home, in a side hustle, or in a small business.

Leatherwork sits high on that list.

Cape Leather Training runs hands-on leather craft training that focuses on doing the work with real tools and real leather. 

Students can choose a one-day workshop in Cape Town where they learn core techniques and take home a finished leather item. 
The workshop price listed on the site is R1,850. 

For deeper training, Cape Leather Training offers a structured five-day leather craft course designed for all skill levels, starting with fundamentals like leather selection, pattern planning, and project design. 
The five-day course price listed on the site is R10,500. 

The five-day course includes a full set of equipment, so students leave with key tools they can keep using after the course. 

Training runs in Cape Town, across South Africa, and also in Namibia, which makes it accessible to people outside major hubs.
