| Summary: | sustainability is a major concern to stakeholders in the leatherwork industry. The reason is that other materials are being used in the production of artifacts that were hitherto produced using vegetable-tanned leather. African mask is one artifact that people use as wall hangings for decorations which are usually produced using wood. If it is made from leather, the problem of people associating religious or spiritual activities with it can be reduced, and it can also be a source of income. As a result, it's critical to expand the range of applications for this vegetable-tanned leather in order to maintain both its production and the value chain activities that support the life of those working in the leather sector. Due to this, the study utilized a studio research methodology to investigate additional uses for vegetable-tanned leather in order to diversify the leather industry and ensure the long-term viability of this business. The study demonstrated the adaptability of vegetable-tanned leather and showed how it could be used to create molds from carved wood. When accurately described, the carved wooden object has attractive qualities and can be used for aesthetic purposes in home design. As a result, leatherwork will become more sustainable because it may be used in other contexts as opposed to the traditional artifacts like wallets, bags, sandals, and footrests, which are strongly linked to the usage of vegetable-tanned leather. |
