Hello! Welcome to the world of Pateson. I'm Liz and I never thought I'd be making things out of leather, let alone wanting others to see them or buy them! But after observing the skills of others and reaching a time in my life where I had space to explore any possible creative side I might have, I enrolled on a leather course and before I knew it the kitchen table was covered in tools, leather cuts and paper patterns.
Every time I work with leather I learn something new and I am certainly at the start of my journey as a leatherworker but I hope you enjoy my handcrafted goods as much as I enjoy making them.
Many of my leather products are made to order so please do contact me if you have any questions or wish to place an order.
An old picnic basket was out of action due to losing its hinges. Straps needed!
If you have any questions, bespoke leather requests, repairs or would like to place an order, do get in touch using the link below.
Throwing myself into the world of leathercraft has inevitably found me making choices about the leather I use and how and where that leather has been sourced.
As I gain knowledge into the world of tanneries, I find myself working backwards to understand the journey from cow to leather. I too am on a journey and hope to soon be using leather from British tanneries, sourced from animals grazing sustainably on British pastures.
Leather is a 'waste' product of the food industry and I was stunned to hear how much of it is thrown away despite it having such potential as a material for endless items in the lives of humans. In my workshop I aim to use every part of the hide that I receive. When sending out orders, I reuse envelopes and packaging so don't be alarmed if the postal packaging is a bit scruffy!
