Vendor Q&A with Fisticuffs Leather
What is your craft all about?
It's about taking discarded leather materials already in our environment and re-purposing them into functional, wearable art.
How did you get started in your craft?
Well, I bought a motorcycle and decided I needed something to fill that void between your glove and the bottom of the sleeve. I found a really cool old belt and made a cuff out of it. Once my friends saw it they all had to have one too. I've had a real passion for making them since.
Where has your craft taken you?
The sky is the limit with my craft. I continue to expand my retail base as well as craft festivals on the weekends.
Where can folks find your wares outside of Handmade Mart?
I am in quite a few locations in and around DC. DC: Meeps on 18th NW, DC Pyramid Art on Georgia Ave. Silver Spring Caramel, U ST NW, DC Baltimore: Red Tree, 36th St. Hampden Baltimore Blue House, Kenilworth Shops, Baltimore Philadelphia: Art Star, 2nd Ave., Phila.
