Susan Nickless
Leathersmith
Using the traditional techniques I learned when training as a saddle/harness maker, I now design and make bags, cases, belts etc. - completely hand stitched in leather.
The majority of my work is individually made, each pattern piece being cut out and prepared by hand using traditional leatherworking tools; often I dye the leather myself, to provide a range of colours.
Interesting, sometimes unusual and often handmade embellishments and fastenings are incorporated into my designs, making each piece of work a unique creation, to be treasured and enjoyed for many years.
For details of galleries where work is for sale, for information regarding forthcoming exhibitions and shows, or to discuss commissions please contact Susan.
