Ian James

Ian James is a leatherworker and designer in San Francisco with a retail space and workshop under his own name. Recorded there, this episode follows the path from dropping out of Parsons to selling on Etsy to opening a store — the day-to-day of the craft, the cost of a brick-and-mortar, what the pandemic did to the business, and the turn into fine art.
