Maker
Hello, my name is Jason Stocks-Young, founder and owner of Diamond Awl Leather Workshop. My studio is on the edge of the Pennines, near Manchester where the leather workshops take place. I started making leather goods over 10 years ago, learning from a traditional saddle maker using traditional leatherwork techniques. I share my passion for my craft through teaching others and recently featured in the BBC2 TV series Saved and Remade and BBC1 series Made in Great Britain, a celebration and exploration of our manufacturing heritage. I am a member of the Guild of Master Craftsmen and a Board Member of the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair.
