MAKER OF THE DAY

Pippin Scott Leather Works

I design and make leather bags and accessories by hand using traditional methods including saddle stitch.
I use the finest quality vegetable tanned leather and luxurious linings such as Hainsworth merino wool, soft lambskin and suede to create what I hope to be modern classics.
I enjoy mixing bright colours as well as using the more traditional palette.
I use UK based suppliers where possible and all of my packaging is recyclable.

    The Capital of Craft Podcast with Cathryn Gwynn

    Craft Festival Wales Special

    I met Cathryn Gwynn at her home studio in Cilgerran, a village near Cardigan in West Wales. 

    Her early life in Cardiff led her to a career in writing, editing and finally teaching at Preseli School. She later began an access course in art, leading to a degree in Textiles from Carmarthen School of Art in 2020.

    Text, texture and textile: three words which reflect sher practice as a mixed-media artist. She is drawn to thread, pen, ink and paper and work somewhere on the cusp of these materials.

    Cathryn Wynn will be giving an illustrated talk about her work at The Capital of Craft at Craft Festival Wales at Cardigan Castle. 

    Her work is part of an exhibition of 8 important Welsh makers at Canfas Gallery in Cardigan. Woven, curated by Suzi Park from Cambrian Wool, runs from September 5-October 5th.
