Workshop Instructor: In her teens, Gesa Thießen found her love for leathercraft while making model horse tack. Her love of horses and leathercraft let her start a three-year apprenticeship at Passier & Sohn, a traditional German saddlery, where she is still employed. During her apprenticeship, she met other young saddlemakers and was introduced to leather carving. This started her passion for any kind of artistic leatherwork.
Workshop Sponsors: Hermann Oak Leather Co., Renia GmbH, and Tandy Leather
