Apart from being used for practical reasons, leather has also been used extensively for art. Leather was decorated, painted and turned into an art object. The skill of leather workers to turn leather into beautiful useable objects is an art in itself. But there are many other hand artists who work with leather in many different ways to create art. Leather can be deformed, decorated with seams, painted, imprinted or embossed.

Often the transition of a simple leather object to leather art can`t be defined. When is a book cover, a leather handbag or a leather shoe an art object?
