After a period of some research, and attending courses by Valerie Michael, Priscilla realised the adverse environmental implications of the use of chrome and similar materials in modern leather production. She also realised the joy of working with vegetable tanned leathers. It became apparent, that whilst vegetable tanning is seeing something of a renaissance, relatively few people in England work with this type of leather today. Under the banner 'God's Earth', Priscilla designs and makes practical items in leather, fabric & recycled materials. Her workshop has a range of equipment, from hand tools to energy saving, commercial machinery.See her lovely handbags available in our cabinet exhibition & available through the market on Wed 10th September.
