Jeff "Po Boy" Luke
Jeff "PO Boy" Luke will be another one of the "New & Aspiring Artists at the CLA show for 2019.
I was always
fascinated by those who crafted useful items by hand, many times out of
necessity. I developed a passion for
American history at a young age and coupled that with my later found passion
for leatherwork a couple years ago when I began making possibles bags and knife
sheaths. I also enjoy hunting, fishing,
and enjoying the outdoors. Most of my
leather pieces are inspired by features and construction methods from the late
18th century. The bag I
will be displaying started as raw veg tan cow hide and features a hand tooled
folk art angel image inspired by an original image I found of a red ware plate
from the 18th century.
