Artists & Makers

Leather

Leather has historically been used as an important art medium. From ancient times to the present, artisans have used a variety of tools and techniques to create functional and artistic goods. The main practices associated with leather as an art medium include dyeing, painting, carving, stamping, molding and shaping. At this year’s Sawdust Art Festival discover specialized one-of-a-kind pieces from the wearable works of art of Michelle Waller, to the well-designed purses of Paul Proppe to the artistically rendered handbags of Carrie Woodburn.

Did You Know?

To the Maker, Leather is like a canvas, the stitch the brush. What makes each Leather Artisan unique is their style of stitching as it creates a distinctive vibe for the art piece. An unguided hand stitch may occur as Native American in style; a machine stitch, Italian; while a saddle stitch evokes a more Western style.
