A framed educational study examining balance, rhythm, and composition in traditional Western leather carving.
Leather panel No. 1 explores the principles of floral composition through an original hand-tooled leather panel by master leather craftsman Cody Hixon.
Rather than focusing on a single carving technique, this study examines how flowers, leaves, scrolls, and negative space are arranged to create a balanced and harmonious design.
Object Details
