Lawrence Craig Leather gets a portion of its namesake from my grandfather, Lawrence Griego. Grandpa Griego was the original renaissance man of the family. He was a painter, sculptor, wood carver, clock maker, harmonica/guitar player, and of course, a leatherworker. Regardless of the task, he always created with an intense, vibrant passion. His leatherwork was immensely detailed and beyond compare. When I was young, he taught me many of the basics of leathercrafting. I inherited his tools; many of which I use on pieces today. With the values that he instilled in me, I approach each individual piece with same level of passion and craftsmanship.
