Leather Smithing Demos Saturday at Market<\/h2>\n

Halcottsville<\/strong> \u2014 Liza Belle Burke of the \u201cLost Art of Living\u201d in Margaretville will demonstrate custom leather smithing on Saturday, July 4 from 10 a.m.-noon at the Pakatakan Farmers\u2019 Market at the Round Barn in Halcottsville.<\/p>\n

The custom crafted sandals and accessories of Liza Belle Leather appeal to both the functional needs of the Catskill locals and the fashion sense of the shopper from the big city.<\/p>\n

\u201cSandals and leather attire date back earlier than any other manmade item,\u201d says Liza Belle, \u201cbut there has been a recent resurgence of interest in the beauty and elegance of neo-classical designs.\u201d The weak economy has actually fueled demand, as budget conscious shoppers are willing to pay more for custom footwear that lasts longer. \u201cImported sandals may be cheaper, but they don\u2019t fit as well or hold up as long. My hand-cobbled sandals are also easier to maintain,\u201d according to the Margaretville-based leather smith.<\/p>\n

Although sandals are the main offering at Liza Belle Leather, the same primitive aesthetic and robust functionality are shared by the artist\u2019s belts, bracelets, necklaces and bags. Liza Belle\u2019s work can be found at the Pakatakan Farmers\u2019 Market or at her shop, the Lost Art of Living on Main St. in Margaretville as well as at Brooklyn Adorned in Williamsburg.<\/p>\n

The Lost Art of Living is open weekends or by appointment, call 845-586-4006 for more information.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s demonstrations are part of a weekly event from 10 a.m.-noon at the Pakatakan Farmers\u2019 Market, sponsored by the Catskill Artisans\u2019 Guild. For a complete event schedule, visit: www.pfmarket.org.<\/p>\n
