Clever People | Meet the Maker: How To Make Art On Leather
Presented by Swensk Australia Pty Ltd
DATES
Fri 16 May 12 – 2pm
Leather artisan Jen Booth transforms Swensk into her studio, carving into a leather hide in real time. Visitors will experience the slow, meditative process of handcrafting leather — watching as the hide tans, burnishes, and takes form. With tools, dyes, and techniques on display, this session offers an intimate look into the craftsmanship behind every piece.
Meet the Maker forms part of Swensk’s marketplace of makers. For four days Swenk’s clients take centre stage as creators, designers, and entrepreneurs. The Clever People Market is an opportunity to explore and purchase artisanal goods, fashion, design objects, and creative services — all crafted by the very people who shop at Swensk and share its values of functionality, quality, longevity, and thoughtful design.
