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 Métiers.

Located in the beautiful city of Liège, 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 Liège, 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!

Un atelier absolument génial ! Janna est une personne pétillante et adorable, avec qui on se sent tout de suite bien. L’usine est un vrai patchwork créatif, ultra catchy et improbable, et rien que le lieu vaut le détour. On a d’abord choisi nos peaux parmi différents cuirs (vache, chèvre, agneau…). Ensuite, Janna nous a montré les outils et les gabarits qu’on allait utiliser. À chaque étape, elle expliquait comment faire et passait voir chez chacun si tout se passait bien. À la fin, on a pu personnaliser notre création en gravant un nom, une date ou des initiales. Une expérience hyper enrichissante que je recommande !

Un atelier extra ;) Janna a été très pédagogue et a partagé des choses intéressantes sur son métier de maroquinière. Je repars avec un objet et des notions d'un savoir-faire très chouette ! Je vous recommande l'atelier à 100%

Super atelier chez Janna! Moment convivial et instructif. Premier contact avec une technique artisanale que je n'avais jamais approchée et Janna à pris le temps d'expliquer, de montrer... Elle parle de son métier avec passion, un vrai bon moment !

Expérience en duo avec ma soeur. On voulais passer un moment ensemble et on s est dit qu un atelier serait top et ça a été le cas ! Même plus que top! Janna nous a expliqué son parcours et les différentes étapes par lesquelles nous allions passer pour créer notre porte monnaie en cuir. J ai beaucoup de ce moment d échange et d apprentissage. Merci encore !
