Yogyakarta boasts stunning architecture and a truly spiritual sensibility. The ancient Hindu temples of Prambanan look like hand-drizzled sand castles, while the Sultan's palace is reminiscent of a gilded music box filled with jewels. Known for its arts and handicrafts, Yogyakarta is a cultural hub, a nerve center for traditional and modern puppetry.

Kaula Leather is definitely the workshop for all lover leather. Situated in Yogyakarta, this private leather course propose to create the items of your choice and learn all the process of making handmade leather products. The workshop is catered to your want: a bag would take about 2 or 3 days, while smaller items such as wallets or belts would take one day. Materials and lessons are provide.
Some workshops are just to attract tourists, make them spend a few of hours and take their money. Not this one! The men there are real professionals, passionate about working the leather and helping create anything you want from scratch. They have got ideas and you can rely on their expertise to know what will turn out to look good or not, right down to the details of the item. As a first timer with no experience whatsoever, I was a bit scared of how my product would look like once finished (many flaws etc.) However, I was pleased with their perfectionism to the extent that by the time you finish whatever it is you're making, the product looks just perfect! Whether you're interested in learning how leather items are made or just want to spend a day doing arts & crafts, I highly recommend Kaula Leather Workshop.
