The art of leather craft is a particularly enjoyable hobby because the material is traditional, aesthetically pleasing, versatile, and somewhat forgiving. Fashioning a hide into a beautiful object grounds the crafter in a centuries-old activity, no matter what roots you come from, it is likely your ancestors in the not-too-distant-past preserved animal hides and fashioned them into useful items.
