Each week I’ll introduce you to the artisans who have held—or will hold—workshops and classes at Lulu, so you can get to know them a little better.
I think it will be interesting for everyone to learn where their passion comes from, how they got started, and so on… Aren’t you curious??!
There’s a story behind every person, and today we’re starting with Genís and Neus from Kurtik Creacions, two young people who work with leather and make beautiful accessories, bags, wallets, phone cases, tobacco pouches….
2) When did you start?
I’ve always liked crafts in general, and one day some friends taught me a few basics of working with leather. That’s how I started… I bought my own tools and taught myself more and more.
5) What project would you like to do but haven’t had time for yet?
There are some very beautiful leather-decoration techniques, such as embossing—that is, adding relief to smooth leather. I’d also like to create or invent new objects related to technology that are practical.
You always come across people who stand out to you because of their designs, the techniques they use, and so on. Personally, I’d like to innovate by combining leather goods with other creative fields such as jewelry, textile construction, and so on.
