Another year whizzes by and its time for the European Leather Workers and Artists Trade Show (ELWATS) in the Netherlands.
This year, I'm pleased to be offering my own course on making a leather plaited Christmas tree...

The background to this started when I discovered some of my ancestors were "straw plaiters" in the 1800's. After find out more about straw plaiting, I transferred the technique into a method suitable for leather. This resulted in the making of "leather lace" that can be formed into a Christmas decoration.
