I have a small tannery outside of
Stockholm, Sweden, where leather is tanned using traditional methods
and techniques. From this leather I sew costumes, often replicas of
historical leather findings for museums, but also such merchandise as
belts, bowls, bracelets and bags. During the last twenty years I have worked with, and studied, leather tanning and preparation. I have conducted many courses on the subject. Much of my knowledge has been handed down to me directly from Inuits, North American Indians, Lapps and other leather workers and tanners. Arctic Leather Tanning - A Cultural Heritage for Humanity. Museum of Ethnography, Stockholm 5/5-18/8 2010. Now available as a touring exhibition, which can be booked through Lotta Garfveri, see Exhibitions and museums. |
