Stitching Saddle in Fez
Under the flat, diffused light of an overcast midday in Fez, a narrow artisan’s workshop reveals a dense cluster of ongoing craft. A master leatherworker’s hands move with practiced speed, stitching a saddle near a wooden workbench scarred by years of use. Nearby, a coil of vibrant embroidered thread catches a faint glint of ambient light, against the rough, untreated leather scraps scattered across the surface. A pair of heavy-duty kitchen tongs rests beside a measuring tape, tools repurposed for holding layers of hide together during the pressing phase. The space is tight, lined with hanging strips of dyed leather in deep reds and browns, creating a textured backdrop of vertical lines.
