European Saddler (Leather) Network

The project allows saddler businesses from all participating countries to get in contact with each other, share experiences and knowledge and work together to improve their profession.

The Austrian Saddler Museum, which is situated in the LAG Linz-Land in Upper Austria, is searching for European Cooperation Partners.It has been gathering saddlers from Austria for several years and is building a network between them. The project ES(L)N has several functions: - to further develop the existing regional network; - the development of the European cooperation, to intensify the handcraft, and leather-cultural exchange; - and to accentuate the regional identity.

At an initial meeting the state of play of Saddlery in the participating countries, similarities&differences & their future prospects will be discussed. Further a joint project for the improvement of the saddlery handcraft will be planned. Everybody is invited to participate who wants to keep the saddlery craft as world cultural heritage, enhance the saddlery businesses, secure their continued existence and who is, as well, interested in a intense handcraft-specific cooperation in Europe.
