Master Craftsman Stefano Parrini will hold a workshop dedicated to leather and the techniques for working with natural leather. Leather is shaped into forms to create objects of all kinds. Some of the artisanal techniques from tradition will be illustrated, which have their roots in ancient Rome and the Renaissance, contributing to making Italian leather goods of the highest quality. Among such techniques: those for preparation, dyeing, shaping, cutting and hand stitching. Part of the workshop will be dedicated to the importance of design and the culture of craftsmanship in leather goods. The use of new machinery and materials, innovations and market demands have made design a central element. Ancient artisanal traditions are used to create products that combine quality, aesthetics and functionality
