History Of Leather Craft

Recommended Posts

My name is Lars Fjetland and I am currently a student at Bergen National Academy of the Arts in Norway.

I am working on a project which evolves around the history of leather craft.

I am especially interested in the linking methods of leather (pictures attached)

I am trying to find out more about how this is done, and for how long this has been done.

Has this anything to do with native (Inuit, Sami, Native American) skills or techniques?

I would be eternally grateful if you could help me answer some of these questions!<

Lars

It rather depends on how you categorise 'native' skills. Do you mean specifically the cultures you list? As far as I'm aware, leather linking and lacing has been around since pre-history and is a part of every world culture.
