To ensure the maximum return and guidance for each student, each course will be limited to 6 students.
The workshop experience is sadly lacking from many design and fashion courses. This five day “hands on” course is specifically designed to meet the production needs of the student, to enable them to make from scratch a bag from the Holden collection in a workshop environment.
The course is intensive and practical and includes cutting, preparing, sewing and assembly. It provides a real insight into the manufacturing process in a workshop where bags have been designed and made for twenty two years.
The course can be tailored to suit all abilities. It will give confidence to those with some experience and will inspire those with none. Each student makes a bag over the week that they will take home with them that would cost approximately 300euro if bought from the Holden Collection.
To ensure the maximum return and guidance for every student, each course is limited to six students.
Comments from previous students who have completed the course include; “it far exceeded my expectations”; “ it was awesome”; “we couldn’t have had a better experience”; “the training with you just furthered my interest in leatherworking and I can’t wait to start my own business”
As well as the valuable experience of working in a workshop environment students who complete any of the Holden courses will be able to draw on the technical support offered by the 22 years of experience of Conor Holden and his team.
