Katie has been creating and selling leather working pieces for six years. Her interest stemmed from a background in blacksmithing. She has taught classes for students as young as 7 years old to adult students in their sixties and thoroughly enjoys each new teaching experience. While Katie has her own business creating custom leather working pieces, she spends more time these days teaching the craft to students; which has only increased her love for this art form and the boundless ways it can be explored.
