The supple feel of a leather jacket, the spicy scent of leather boots and the glow of dubbin, leather has a sensual appeal all of its own. Hides and then later processed leather were the go-to materials for clothing, shelter and more due to the material's durability, strength, flexibility and waterproofing. This book offers a whistle-stop guide to the history of leathercraft and tanning. The story begins in prehistory when people discovered, perhaps by chance, that skins exposed to smoke or accidentally soaked in autumnal puddles lasted longer. Skins were a valuable resource, used for everything from clothing to shelter, blankets and vessels. The book looks at evidence that shows us how tanning and leather continued to be of prime importance across the globe throughout history, in economic as well as functional terms. Chapters are arranged chronologically covering Ancient, Medieval, Tudor and Stuart, Georgian, and Victorian era leathercraft. The second part of the book brings us up to date, via interviews with modern day leather crafting artisans. These leather crafters generously allowed the author access to their studios and discuss the way they use and adapt traditional methods, techniques and tools for the 21st century. Photos of their craft, and their working environment offers a unique window into the world of leathercraft. Finally, if you are inspired to try your hand at this fascinating and most ancient of crafts, the book also has a resources section. It includes a valuable list of suppliers of leather, dyes, tools and tanning materials, as well as information about training courses, useful websites and more everything you need to get started. 103 page illus paperback.
