Leather Worker

A Leather Worker makes a range of products from leather materials. You might source and prepare leather for your pieces and cut material to size. You might use existing patterns for your products or come up with your own designs. Leather Workers may use embellishments for their pieces and market them for sale.

Leather Workers should have strong technical skills and excellent attention to detail. It’s important you can communicate well with customers and understand their needs. Leather Workers should be creative and able to adapt their skills to meet the individual needs of their clients. You’ll need to be organised and able to meet customer timeframes.
