    Meet Janna

    Leather worker

    Meet Janna, a passionate leatherworker who has turned leather into her chosen art form.

    To begin with, she delved into the world of textiles, exploring its various facets until she succumbed to the magic of leather. To refine her craftsmanship, she chose to receive training at the prestigious Arts et MĆ©tiers.

    Located in the beautiful city of LiĆØge, this enthusiast decided to travel the world in search of new inspirations and techniques. Her journeys took her to every corner of the globe. From Argentina, where she studied shoe crafting, to Mexico, where she delved into leather embroidery, Janna immersed herself in local artisanal traditions to enrich her repertoire.

    Blessed with an insatiable curiosity and a constant drive to reinvent herself, the leatherworker primarily focuses on bespoke creations. Her workshop is nestled within a repurposed factory in LiĆØge, housing several artists and creators. Be sure to dress warmly, as the workshop can sometimes be chilly.

    Join Janna's workshop and let yourself be charmed by the art of leather in a dynamic and joyful atmosphere!
