Leatherwork Activity 4

Tutor - Jess Paske

Places - 4 remaining.

Description: My work has a definite focus on tooling designs in to the leather in an organic way that is sympathetic with the overall project, it isn't just about putting a nice picture into leather. We will work together to create something unique and personal using veg-tanned leather and traditional wet-forming methods, embossing, sewing and staining. I would particularly like to help people finish off things started at craft camp; a wet-formed and tooled sheath for a hand forged knife, or incorporating a brass casting into a bag as examples. I also like to work to known historical periods such as the bronze age as this can also involve working with bone and wood.
