We sometimes forget that leather is a textile, and a wonderful material with which to create beautiful and functional items. Today's guest, Lisa Sorrell, of Sorrell Custom Boots in Guthrie, Oklahoma, has taken leatherwork to the next level with her designs. Lisa began making boots in 1996, custom fit and handcrafted for each client. Lisa’s work has been featured in several books, numerous magazines, and the PBS series “Craft in America.” She is the recipient of numerous awards and the author of the book, "The Art of Leather Inlay and Overlay," published in 2015. In this episode, Lisa talks about her journey to becoming a custom bookmaker and what needs to be done to save and pass on these specialized skills to future generations.
