I started making masks for a living back in the 90's and sold to galleries from Amercian Craft Council shows, to customers at craft shows, and at the Minnesota Renn. Festival. I have written many articles, booklets, and videos about leather sculpting, and will continue to add and offer them for sale as downloads from this site. Thanks to our modern tanners who make wonderful molding leather, and new technologies in molding and casting for pattern forms it is a lot easier to make molded leather objects than it was in the past. I have made some videos and booklets describing the techniques I've learned in the past 30 years and would like to pass them on to you. Cheryl Smeja
