The Leather Peacock

The Leather Peacock Tanya Freedman is a leather artist and educator with over 10 years of art show experience and 4 years teaching at conventions.

I love demonstrating the versatility of leather through carving, construction, and hands-on, usable projects. I am a stay at home mom that uses my crafting time not only to produce wonderful pieces, but to also feel like Tanya and not just "Mom". I won a basic Leather Starter Kit from a drawing and then took classes to "learn" how to use the tools. I found the more I was crafting, the more I loved

leather work. Now, I am sharing my pieces to sell so I can support my crafting hobby to be able to create more. My Favorite materials:
Genuine Veg Tanned Leather mostly so I can carve into it But a beautifully finished piece sometimes speaks to me begging to be turned into something
