Hello From Co.durham, Northern England

Recommended Posts

hello All!
My name is Mark Rowney. I have been working and carving leather for 25 years now. I am self taught and still learning. I am passionate about Contemporary rural Art and endeavour to combine my enthusiasm for leather work and evoke my love of nature. I primarily make bespoke leather journal covers and some other original and one-off items. I also paint and sell enough to enable me to buy new hides, JUST!
I live and work in the Durham dales, Northern England. My influences are the Bees that sting me, the Midges that bite me and the birds that sing so sweetly. My goal is to understand my soul that I may best illustrate a wonderful life spent in the high meadows and hay fields that surround our old stone farmhouse.
I look forward to meeting and hearing from the fellow leather workers that share this imaginative site.
As William Morris said...."One should only own what is truly useful or beautiful".
I hope you find enjoyment in my work.
