The Leathersellers Presents: Outsider Craft

By: The Leathersellers
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • We're all craftspeople

    "Leather is the first form of architecture" - so says Minh Le Pham, an architect and leather artist who blurs the line between art and life by using his home as a studio and gallery. Yusuf and Minh discuss how we are all craftspeople: crafting life, relationships, living spaces. It is the job of craft to help us define and refine these boundaries.
