Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Franklin Jr. Chavez

A combination of metalwork and leatherwork. My techniques include cutting, designing, dying, stamping, stitching leather and then incorporating the metalwork onto the leather. The metalwork part consists of cutting, stamping, soldering, polishing, and attaching pieces onto leatherwork for a final product, whether it is a concho belt, hatband, pet collars or a horse bridle.
