With over 30 years in the industry, my journey began at Asprey's bespoke workshop, and I now collaborate with prestigious brands like Burberry.
I founded Hamson Handcrafted, my own brand, driven by a passion to create enduring, elegant objects. My expertise lies in working with naturally-tanned leather, showcasing my commitment to ethical practices.
I am keen to share my knowledge and keep the traditions of leatherwork alive. Teaching leatherwork to aspiring artisans is not only a way to preserve the legacy of the craft but also a means of making a positive contribution to the wider community.
Immerse yourself in this world, where timeless craftsmanship intertwines with artistic finesse.
