How to Design Leather Armour & Costume "Where to start"
Such a HUGE question.... "So where do I start" .... and even now, 6 years, since I launched the pre-sign ups to the Academy, it's still by far the subject that gets brushed past by so many .... and yet, by far the most important question that needs answering. Yep, almost 30 years on, still, this is the process that I use every day when beginning to imagine a new project without question, this is still the one element most people find a challenge.... The crazy part is that by far this is the key to your work standing out.
Being able to pick up a pattern will always be great, but… Being able to demonstrate your own style and personal signature, Will always be a guaranteed way to stand out from the crowd and the ocean of bags and book covers 🙂

A graduate of the Italia Conti Academy, I started my career as a child actor before finding my true passion in re-enactment, Renaissance Faires, and LARP. Moving to Chichester 20 years ago, I began my journey as a leatherworker, armourer, and costumer. Surrounded by history and inspired by Hollywood epics, I pursued my dream despite the lack of guidance in the industry. As an entrepreneur, I've pushed boundaries, leading to spectacular designs and the creation of a thriving maker's community. This community inspired the Academy, representing my dedication to crowd-driven passion. My opus, a culmination of 25 years, invites learners to follow my path, knowing I'll keep working until the end. Now based in the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, my dream persists.
