In August, we are exploring leather craftsmanship with Julie Rais Ellis of Rais Case. Julie builds beautiful custom leather goods such as handbags, wallets, accessories and journal covers as part of her leather practice, she sells Rais Case through her e-commerce shop as well as in her Southern California storefronts. She's built a 'DIY Studio' in her Oceanside space so that customers can customize their pieces. In this workshop we're taking those DIY principles even further through a Leather Craftsmanship: Tanning & Stamping Workshop in Julie's wonderful style. We've partnered with a family business to produce each leather-bound journal cover and we're so excited for everyone to dive in.

We're chatting with Chelsea, our July featured maker and the artist behind Sketchy Notions. She shares with us what she finds so valuable and special in creating a daily creativity practice through sketching and why travel sketching & painting is such a wonderful way to capture the world around you.
