Jane Watts Leather & Metal

Watching Digging for Britain and I hear every week I’ve got one of those! Proof he has one of those…. Roman sharpening stone.

Heading up to on Saturday 17th for a great little event with some fab makers. We’re all having a bench/ workshop tidy up, come and grab some ex display, end of lines, not quite perfects and some prototypes all discounted !
I’ll have a few belts, a couple of Totes and lots of little bits that need new homes!

The new Treasure Trays and a new colour leather “Silt” just added to the web site

I’ve been working on producing smaller pieces to add to collections such as the Plotter Pouch and Belts.
Fresh off the bench are the New Pencil Pouches (or slim glasses case)
I guess it would make a good workshop project, let me know what you think?

Special leather for a very special day. Wedding ring pouches made with leather recovered from the wreck of the .
The pouch will hold their rings on the day, a key ring will be adder after to hold cash,coins or the wedding rings for safe keeping.
This lovey couple live very close to the wreck site.

Keeping things super simple this year, this is my only Christmas event. Off to where it all began Modbury!
I’ll be there on Saturday (tomorrow) as well my usual bags, belts and pouches I’ll have a few extra little bits 😉

A peaceful Sunday morning in the workshop making this playing card pouch.
Focus required when using the precious 239 year old Reindeer Hide recovered from the Wreck of the Metta Catharina. It’s a fantastic story especially knowing the crew were saved in such rough seas.
Below is a link to the wreck, its windy damp Sunday here in Devon what better way to spend it researching this two masted sailing ship.
I have a limited amount of the leather which is available for commissions.
