The art of leatherworking, also known as leathercrafting, involves molding, dyeing, carving, stamping, and fabricating leather into different objects or artworks. Although evidence of hideworking and tanning dates back 400,000 years, the earliest documented leatherworking tools date back to the Stone Age in 5,000 BC. Back then, leather was used for shelters, clothing, and shoes. In today's world, leather is used for many things including footwear, car seats, clothing, footballs, backpacks, purses, books, and furniture.
In this post, we share a few amazing leather artworks made by some incredibly skilled people. Whether it's a pin cushion shaped like a puffer fish or artfully crafted armor, these handmade leather creations demonstrate just how much talent exists in our world.
