Found Leather Interview

Nicki Lang; FOUNDer and owner of ::found:: Leather goods
“Found Leather Goods is a Pacific Northwest leather goods company handcrafting unique leather bags and accessories using thoughtfully procured, high-quality leather and durable hardware. Each piece is designed, cut, and sewn in our 100+ year old studio in the Fairhaven district of Bellingham Washington.”
“We believe that Makers and Artists create more than just goods—We can create good with the work of our hands. ” (http://www.trouvemag.com/journal/into-the-woods)
“The human spirit longs to be inspired by beauty. Our brains are thirsty for creativity. And if our community (global and local) thrives on supporting small-batch makers, then in that act of commerce and connectedness, our hope is that you, too, will be able to lean more fully into your own pursuit of beauty and imagination.”

Artwood Interview

Erica Hume, manager, “The Glue”,

Artwood is a cooperative gallery located in the heart of Bellingham's historic Fairhaven district.

“Each piece in this inviting woodworking gallery is designed and made by an individual artist. Your senses will be delighted in the graceful lines of a rocking chair, the smoothness of a chair arm, the tones of a wooden ukulele, or the scent of an aromatic cedar box.
The work of Artwood's 8 active woodworking members (http://artwoodgallery.com/artists) and about 90 other artists and crafts people are represented here, fine woodworking complemented by items in a variety of other media.”
