Horse Hill Studio

Curious Things Fashioned from Leather and Found Objects.

Utility. Identity. Craft.

These words, are the underpinnings of the work of Horse Hill Studio.

Out of leather and found objects we fashion things hands and eyes can hold. Most of what we love to make are vessels. These hold aspects of our lives: talismans that hold our prayers, handles that our hands hold, broaches and small boxes made from walnuts that hold keepsakes. There are bowls and trays and satchels, door boards for keys, and slate and leather wall hangs that hold our attention and imagination.

Horse Hill Studio is where our hands craft Things for other hands to hold.

About

Donlin is a master with leather and even more than that he is an artist who attunes to the spirit and personality of the person he is crafting for to create truly magically tools and accessories that convey the heart and mythos of the wearer. He is such a treasure, and I HIGHLY recommend commissioning him to make you a utilitarian work of art!
