Emma Marriage.
My love of natural materials leads me to work with cottons, linens, wools and in particular leather. I love the versatility of leather, its touch, scent and natural ability to be shaped into beautiful functional objects. I am passionate about the materials I use and favour using surplus stock leather from the luxury fashion industry, offcuts from saddlery or hides from Italy. I like to combine woollen tweeds and felt and to include the beauty of the scars and stretches of the leather in my work, creating unique, one off pieces, with beautiful cotton and linen linings.
