New Special Feature Blog - National Leathercraft Day: Meet The Makers ✨
Leathercraft is about more than the finished piece. It’s about creativity, patience, experimentation and finding your own way of working with the material.
To celebrate National Leathercraft Day, we shone a spotlight on five talented makers from the J. Wood Leathers community and the incredible work they create with leather.
MEET THE MAKERS:
George Butterworth – Leatherkraft
Ben Hollings – The Anvil Workshop - Instagram
Rory – Tiger’s Armoury - Instagram .armoury
Nathan – Kiki the Miata - Instagram
Brian – Modern Woolfare - Instagram
From specialist snooker pockets and traditional hand tooling to film & TV leatherwork, custom automotive interiors and bespoke bags, their work shows just how many ways there are to work with leather.
We’ve spoken to each maker about their journey, their projects, the skills they’ve developed and what inspires their work.
