Dave Swift Leather Workshop & Wood Craft
When not involved in events Dave Swift spends much of his off screen time working with vegetable tanned leather and other natural materials creating artistic pieces and to reproduce historical originals for TV/film projects as well as providing a high quality reproduction service for museums.
CRAFT DEMONSTRATIONS
At public markets and festivals Dave usually brings along some examples of his work and demonstrates the use of the traditional tools used in leather crafting such as awls, prickers, stamps and blades.
WORKSHOPS
From time to time workshops are conducted for the public where small groups of people can work over a couple of days to produce their own medieval purses, knife sheaths or belts and the like.
Some samples of Dave's past projects are shown below:
