The Leathersellers Presents: Outsider Craft
The Leathersellers presents: Outsider Craft with Yusuf Osman, a podcast that seeks to rediscover the purpose and meaning of craft, as we navigate complex issues that we face as a society, and as individuals.
After years of making and teaching, Yusuf Osman, former lawyer, now artisan leatherworker and designer finds himself at a creative and spiritual point of inflection. With the help of fellow artisans and creatives, Yusuf asks what it means to be a craftsperson in the modern day and if craft can help us achieve the lives we want to live.
