ABOUT BARB...
Barbara Worley is a leather artist and craftsman with an Associate in Applied Science –Saddle Making. A recent transplant from Idaho to the Texas Hill Country, she is continuing her love of crafting items out of heavy textiles and leather. Barbara owns The Plump Red Pony in Wimberley where she creates custom accessories for home and body, leather goods, jewelry, and more. “Leatherwork has been considered being on the cusp of a ‘lost art’,” she says. “Like with calligraphy and book-binding, to name just two, the ability to find Master Saddlemakers and leather artists willing to teach how to decorate a piece of leather into a beautiful, functional piece of art has been increasingly hard to find”. Because of this, Barbara is offering workshops to those interested in learning the process of leather crafting. You can follow her on Facebook at www.facebook.com/plumpredpony.
