Leather

Books and journals

For thousands of years nothing has surpassed the  simply beauty and tough versatility of leather. I source hides from responsible U.K. tanneries along with assurances that their leather arrived from animals slaughtered for consumption and not their skins. No chemical dyes are used in my colouring or aging process.
I use but a few of the many techniques to create my work (it’s very much an ongoing apprenticeship). So there are some limitation on what commissions I accept? At present I’m able to engrave and emboss leather, return in another twenty years and I may be able to offer to carve it ?  
Like my copper work you might choose a hand coloured engraved character, a family crest or even a corporate logo.
Ideas are developed at no extra cost with a layout sent for approval before I start.
Ideal for wedding albums/guest books, family record books, travel journals baby books, address or visitors books or just a shopping list.


The only limitation is… imagination.

Prices are design and size dependant but start at £26 for the small pocket book up to £150 for the larger albums.
