#6 'Day' Sporran - Completed (Commission)

[Ryan Ross]

Another top drawer job, good sir! That thing is CLEAN.

...can I ask what your leatherworking background was, before you started making sporrans? If this is a question that has already been anwsered, my apologies.

At any rate, all I can say is that any man would be fortunate to own such a piece of craftsmanship.

Thank you!

I have no formal leatherwork training, I'd done some 'HARD' leather, as it relates to furnishings, and a small amount of re-upholstery of vintage mid-century leather furniture before I started in on sporrans.

I went to school aiming for a BFA in design. In that time I studied art history, painting, ceramics, bookbinding, printmaking, sculpture as well as several other things. I ENDED up with a degree in Comparitive Studies-Philosophy and Religions, with a +60 credit MINOR in Fine Arts Design

I've also done woodworking, metalwork and stained glass out of necessity, when something we wanted couldn't be found (when I was in interior design).
