Well met,
You can call me Cían. I'm the face behind QuinnsWorkshop.
I have always been interested in history, tradition and craft, however, it is hard to pinpoint where my interest in working with Leather came from. I have been researching this artform for as long as I can remember, reading books, watching videos and eventually, picking up some tools and trying it for myself!
I remember seeing leatherworking videos online, and feeling such a draw to this practice like no other. Once I started working leather, I knew, this was my calling. I have been working as a leatherworker part time for years, and have made the leap to full time in January 2024. as the saying goes
The saying "do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life" has rung through. This is my passion, I will not fail.
