Vegetable tanned leather has always been the standard for molding and holding shape; it’s predictable, firm, and made for it. But I’ve always been more interested in seeing how far I can push materials that aren’t supposed to behave that way.

I’ve always experimented with molding chrome tanned leather instead. I can’t follow the same type of process you would with vegetable tanned, especially when it comes to wet molding, which forces me to approach shaping in a completely different way.

What I’ve found is that thinner leathers, especially lambskin, actually hold form surprisingly well when combined with glue and the right process.

A big part of craftsmanship, for me, is questioning what a material is “supposed” to do.

I almost didn’t try this.

Last year I tried vacuum pressing leather with food sealing bags… and it completely failed. So investing in something more expensive and actually capable felt like a risk in itself.

When it comes to leather craft, a lot of the techniques I want to experiment with have very limited resources online - no tutorials, no real references - so most of the time I’m figuring it out through trial, error, and ruined material.

This was my first real attempt at vacuum pressing leather, and watching the texture pull, stretch, and hold its form felt like discovering the material all over again!

Sometimes the next level of your work is hiding inside the technique you’ve been avoiding. 🙌🏻

Do you think it was worth it?

COMMISSION COMPLETE! 👏🏻
*elevator-ish music sounded fitting for this hotel project!

Last week, I finally wrapped up my leather frame install for the Westin Nashville Hotel! There were many bumps in the road, from no scissor lift being available to use - much too large welded joints, but the team got it done!

I’m so fortunate to be able to work with some amazing clients and test out new skills and ideas ✨🙌🏻

Working hard to finish out a few projects for the year and am super thankful for those that have trusted me to create something unique and beautiful for their space.

As I head into this new chapter of my life, I am currently booking March 2026 and onward for new clients.

The best is yet to come and 2026 will bring a year of new releases for E.E. Brown and new techniques for using leather! I can’t wait to share with everyone what I’ve been working on all year and what my heart goes into. 🤍

My journey with leather began at the age of 13, crafting my first wallet and purse. That early passion evolved into E.E. Brown, founded in 2021, where I create fine-art leather décor and sculptural pieces from my Nashville studio. Each work is thoughtfully designed to merge timeless craftsmanship with contemporary form, bringing texture, movement, and quiet luxury into the spaces they inhabit.

👍🏻 If you know someone seeking distinctive artwork or architectural décor, I would be honored for you to share my work with them.
