Roslyn Whiting Leathercraft

Roslyn was thirteen, at a youth camp, when she got the opportunity to learn how to hand-tool designs onto leather, and instantly loved it.

"I grew up in the city of Aberdeen.  My Grandparents lived on a croft around 30 miles away in the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside.  I used to love visiting and felt ‘free’ listening to the birds and animals.  Although I grew up in a city, I had a strong pull to the countryside.  I now live in the small town of Melrose, surrounded by beautiful Scottish Borders countryside.  I use my surrounding countryside as inspiration for my designs making my products unique.

I have an HND in Spatial Design.  Although I don’t use my HND to design interiors and exhibitions anymore, I still use my college drawing board for coming up with new product designs.

I am a detailed person; I like to make the best products I can and work hard to use traditional methods and source quality materials to make products that will last.  I love the thought of my customers enjoying using my products for years.

I enjoy learning and developing my leatherwork skills.  Keep watching my website as I develop new products."
