WY Studios

Saw this leather working class through some internet searches. We did the belts and wallet classes and they were excellent. John is an outstanding teacher and his work is meticulous. It was worth the trip to the UK. Would recommend to anyone looking to try leather working.

John made a beautiful, bespoke navy leather cross body bag for me. It is lined in light teal leather, with an inner pocket, ideal for keeping a passport and phone securely. My spectacle case, wallet, tissues and comb fit the main body of the bag, all within a trim space of approximately 22x16x7.5 cm. The craftsmanship is excellent and I foresee using it for many years.

Such fantastic framing work, and what was most appreciated was John’s guidance and advice about what would work best for each piece, while also responding to what I was looking for. This framing of a 45-year-old portrait (?) by my husband’s daughter came out so much better than I’d hoped for, and made a stunning, and moving, gift for his 80th birthday. Thank you so very much for helping us preserve this!

Loving my bespoke Christmas garland from WY. Exactly what I wanted to complement my Nordic palette, looked high and low, should have gone their first! 🤩 Great friendly and prompt service. Ended up getting three more Christmas gifts; job done!

I trusted WY Studios with the framing of an extremely precious piece of art. I was instantly struck by the straight forward and honest advice John gave me over the phone to manage my expectations. Upon meeting him and discussing the options with the picture I found his knowledge and gentle advice (to a novice) to be extremely reassuring. I felt I was in good hands throughout. The quality of the final product confirmed all my thoughts were correct. I am so pleased with the finished product and I cannot recommend John highly enough. I am eternally grateful and can’t recommend WY Studios highly enough.

I couldn’t recommend John highly enough. I was getting a few sentimental pieces framed for Christmas which were slightly awkward objects and this is where his knowledge is truly unmatched, and he took the time to explain options and offer thoughtful advice that made a real difference to the final result. He’s friendly, approachable and genuinely helpful, making the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The craftsmanship is exquisite the attention to detail and care he puts into his work really shows. Combined with his deep understanding of framing and how to best present each piece, the finished result exceeded my expectations. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending him to others.

Big thank you to John who provided expert advice on how to frame a canvas we bought off Etsy from an artist in Cambodia. He knew what would and would not work and his advice on this frame that gives a floating appearance to the canvas was perfect. Would highly recommend his services.
