Artifacts Live is a unique collaboration between the Museum of Leathercraft Northampton and De Montfort University. Students from DMU fashion, design and textiles courses were invited to study and draw inspiration from objects in the Museum of Leathercraft's collection. In response, the students emulated traditional hand-skilled techniques to design and create their own fascinating works of leathercraft, displayed in this exhibition - as well as the beautiful original artifacts which inspired their work. </h3>Allow about 60 minutes for the walk and 30+ minutes for the visit, although walkers may wish to stay longer. This walk is suitable for most. Walking or wheeling, we hope you'll join us!
