Leather work



Sewing, braiding, processing



This guide is a practical introduction to leather crafting. With little effort you can make great leather bracelets, wallets, phone cases and other items on your kitchen table at home. The book contains 20 projects, from key chains to large shoulder bags, and several different instructions for leather weaving and knotting. You will learn about the right tools, the basics of gluing and polishing, bookbinding and much more.



It is above all about the joy of creating something from natural materials and being able to set an example for the throwaway society with your own durable products. Last but not least, it is also about respecting an ancient artisan tradition that lives on in all those who work with leather.
