Cary Schwarz
Salmon, Idaho
This year, Cary Schwarz pushed the envelope a little further with more pyrography decoration on his pieces. With more than four decades of professional saddlemaking and leatherwork, he has found great satisfaction in trying new things, and he continues to hone his skills as an artist and craftsman. His work in this show represents the highwater mark for his abilities and showcases the many layers of possibilities with leather. He, like his fellow members, considers the annual show and exhibition the leading edge of the educational focus for the group.
