We owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to the people that helped develop the craft we get to enjoy every day. It’s where we come from, our heritage. And, their stories are really, really fun! In Studio Stories, we explore the people, objects, and tools that bring that heritage to life.

It is also a treasure to be able to share the knowledge and experience of Jim Linnell, Al Stohlman Award winner, and master crafter. He and Elktracks Studio work to advance and preserve the art of leathercraft, and boy, does he have some incredible stories to tell.
