About Stevenson Leathercraft.
My name is Phil, and I am the mind, hands and heart behind Stevenson Leathercraft.
I've been a maker as long as I can remember, when I was a kid no piece of cardboard packaging was safe! I was always drawing or cutting and sticking card and paper together. I'm risking giving away my age by saying that I have a strong memory of making 'Tracy Island' following the instructions from Blue Peter on the tele!
So what brought me to leather craft? I have always liked leather items, from boots to wallets, belts and bags. The idea to try leather craft had been floating around in my head for a while, and then a few years ago I found a beginner's leather craft kit for sale and mentioned it to my partner as an idea for a Christmas gift for me. Well, that year I got a big box containing some beginner's tools and some pieces of leather and I was hooked!
I love the tactile nature of leather, the way it ages and gains a unique patina with time, becoming softer and moulding itself to the way it is used. I also love the versatility of it, the multitude of ways to work with it, from wet-moulding to tooling, to decorative stitching and even painting it! Leather can be anything from a practical item for everyday use to a piece of wearable art.
So now I make a variety of items carefully crafted with my own two hands, from the best quality materials to ensure that they will last for years to come. I sincerely hope that some of my items will become 'heirloom' pieces that get passed down through generations.
Stevenson Leathercraft is the smallest of small businesses right now, consisting of me, myself and I, and everything I sell is hand cut, hand sewn and hand finished at my dining table, with the greatest possible care.
