A word from our ALAlumnis

  • "The highlight of ALA was the emphasis on personalized instruction. The small class size meant that each of us received ample one-on-one guidance, fostering an environment of camaraderie and support among fellow learners."

  • "It was the most fun course I ever joined in my life. Bea and Amelie are excellent instructors, they are patient and attentive. They never say no to any of my wild ideas and helped me achieve them all.  As well as gaining valuables leatherwork skills, I also made a lot of friends who share the same passion as me. I feel most energised when I’m with likeminded fellows. The course helped me tremendously as I moved to SF from another continent just before Covid. Please don’t hesitate if you are considering to sign up to the course. You will not regret it!"
