Discover the Art of Leathercraft with Private Lessons by Kellen, our Head Craftsman, at Sunhouse Goods
At Sunhouse Goods, sharing the craft of leatherworking is a passion.
Since 2020, we've been offering private lessons, helmed by Kellen, our supremely skilled Head Craftsman, specializing in luxury handbag and purse design and construction. Kellen has successfully trained numerous students in our studio, imparting expert knowledge and techniques.
In 2022, we had the opportunity to take lesson on the road for the first time and conducted group workshop sessions in Los Angeles and private lessons in Palm Springs, covering fundamental to advanced handbag construction.
Our students, some traveling from out of state, join us for intensive week-long training sessions in our studio. We're also flexible, sometimes bringing the training to your home. We warmly welcome students of all skill levels.
Our instruction approach is project-based, allowing you to work alongside Kellen on a project from start to finish. You pay for the piece and the invaluable instruction, with our pricing formula being twice the cost of the project.
We're thrilled at the opportunity to have Kellen teach you this timeless craft. Reach out to us via the form below, and let's embark on this creative journey together.
We teach workshops too!
“Kellen provided me with insight on materials, tools, tips, other great leather craftspeople to follow on IG, where to buy items, etc. I had been doing some very basic leather work and he helped me elevate my work just by that information alone. He provided ideas for projects, feedback on my work and confidence that I too could make beautiful things.
Kellen is patient and encouraging. Never critical. He makes such beautiful items and inspires me to go the extra mile on my work. During our first lesson he complimented me on a detail that was a little extra on my project (I was just following directions from a video I watched), but he pointed out how the little things make your work look so much better. That has stuck with me whenever I work on a project and it has made a big difference in the final results.
Awesome teacher and mentor!”

Student Reviews
“As an established leather worker, working with Kellen took my game to a whole new level. The entire process was incredibly straightforward. Kellen answered every single question I had even before we started. The two-day course honed my skills and gave me the confidence to provide a product that garners the attention I know my craftsmanship deserves. At ANY experience level, I highly recommend a session with Kellen.”
