Yvonne Twining

Yvonne Twining began her love affair with leather in 1974, and with the passage of time has delved into most aspects of this fascinating craft from the traditional, through to sculpture and including footwear. She is an accredited member of Craftsouth and a founding member of the Leatherworkers’ Guild of SA Inc (est 1980 but now defunct).

Her work has been exhibited throughout Australia and New Zealand and she has had broad teaching experience, from individuals to large classes. Her main direction now is with soft chrome tanned leathers, both plain and multi coloured and with varying surface textures, exploring non-lasted footwear, bags and accessories.
