Leatherbound Legacy
THE TANDY LEATHER CULTURE
THE TANDY LEATHER CULTURE
Established in 1919, Tandy Leather would not be the same without the artistry of Al Stohlman. He was a master craftsman, gifted artist and pioneer in leathercrafting techniques. His work has influenced hundreds of thousands of leathercrafters worldwide, through the media of tool designs, patterns, instruction books and personal demonstrations.
Al and his wife Ann’s love for leather was exemplified by a willingness to give freely of his knowledge, to build leathercraft as an art form, as well as a craft, and to encourage others by his personal example. Although he is no longer with us today, his work and character will remain with us forever.
"Al Stohlman left behind a long legacy of leathercraft books and leather carving patterns, many of which have been published by Tandy Leather in its catalogs and instruction books. Many of the original leather pieces used to illustrate his published books are on display, some dating back to the early 50s."
"Enseñar e inspirar el arte de la artesanía en cuero, una persona, una clase, un vecindario, una comunidad a la vez".
Bienvenido al fascinante mundo de LEATHERCRAFT.
Desde 1919, Tandy Leather ha sido el recurso para generaciones de artesanos del cuero, proporcionando cuero, herramientas, kits y recursos didácticos de calidad. El sueño de Charles Tandy era enseñar al mundo la marroquinería, una persona a la vez. Ya seas un niño o un adulto, la artesanía en cuero ofrece diversión y recompensas a todos los que se preocupan por emprender la aventura. La historia del cuero habla por sí sola y se remonta a los comienzos de la humanidad, cuando el cuero era vital para la supervivencia al brindar protección contra los elementos de la naturaleza cuando las pieles de animales se usaban como ropa y calzado. Hoy en día, el cuero se sigue utilizando para la confección de prendas de vestir; principalmente por calidez y moda, pero hoy va mucho más allá de esos propósitos. El cuero ha capturado los corazones de muchos, jóvenes y mayores. Continuamos esforzándonos por hacer realidad el sueño de Charles Tandy de enseñar artesanía en cuero al mundo, una persona a la vez, con un servicio al cliente excepcional, ofertas de productos de calidad y un ambiente acogedor que elimina el misterio de la artesanía en cuero.
