The foundation of art and craftsmanship lies in the joy of sharing.
I believe that knowledge should never be kept to oneself; it must be shared so that we can all grow and improve together.
I’m also a teacher who never stops learning. As a passionate artisan, I enjoy sharing my “recipes” and techniques so others can experience the joy of leather-working and continue to pass on the knowledge.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching and contributing to various workshops, as well as publishing articles in both national and international journals. Some of the events and publications I’ve been part of include:
-
“ELWATS”. European Leather Workers and Artist Trade Show . (Arnhem, The Netherlands). 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024.
-
