All programs take place at the museum and run from 10:30 a.m. to noon. Programs for "Vacation Creation Days" are for ages 8-12. On Wednesday, Dec. 28, children will create a small project by carding, spinning and weaving by hand. Participants will then tour Museum L- A's textile exhibit and see how machinery changed the production of cloth. The following day, Thursday, Dec. 29, they will learn about the shoemaking industry in Lewiston-Auburn and create a small leather craft by hand sewing. The cost is $10 per day or $15 for both days. A family discount of $15 per day for two children or $25 for both days is also offered.

Suddenly, leather in non-seating applications is really taking off, so they are either lucky or smart that they made the decision 20 years ago to focus on wrapping interior components with leather, says Rodney Hammond, VP and general manager, Seton Leather.

Checking my shelf of books on New Mexico arts and crafts, I found only a few incidental mentions of leather, thereby confirming Wroth's observation.

The balance of energies and skills are the magic ingrethent of owners [Christian Schulz], [Adam Goldstein] and [Leslie Kale] that creates Studio Collective. Goldstein is a big-picture person who brings an air of calm and reassurance to a "need it now" industry. Schulz has a near-obsessive attention to detail that leaves no doorknob unturned. Furthermore, he can envision that doorknob as a chair or maybe a lamp. Meanwhile, KIaIe thinks nothing of scouring the Rose Bowl for the perfect Louis loveseat and then going all the way to Guadalajara to source rivets for a table. As she proudly pointed out, "It will be finished at budget on time. Rich, dark colors and backlit onyx provide an opulent setting for distressed leather upholstery, burnished metal finishes, regal flea market finds and e...

When Morris Kaplan expanded his growing Massachusetts tannery business to this town in 1935, it made perfect sense. The shoe industry was migrating from that state into Maine, and Kaplan's leather found a ready market here. That industry continued to move, though.
