About Me and My Work:
My leather craft career began after I inherited leather craft tools from my father. When I was younger, I had the privilege of working with a group of blacksmiths that expressed such passion in their trade, that they shared it with anyone. The items these craftsmen made were made with such skill and beauty that they far surpassed manufactured products. These blacksmiths taught me how work from craftsmen that value their trade, create high quality pieces of art that are timeless. I enjoyed leather craft as a hobby as I went on to pursue a career in dog training. I worked my way up to training working dogs and discovered a need for high quality training products.
Sometime later, I interned at a museum and was able to view historical pieces that were made with such craftsmanship that they survived centuries later. I also had the privilege of meet various traditional craftsmen at the museum that carried not only the passion, skill, and knowledge of their trade, but imbued pieces of their traditions and culture in their products as well. This inspired me to take my leather craft hobby and turn it into something more…
Certain life experiences, have taught me that life is short, and that if you have a passion for something to pursue it. I aim to make products that are long-lasting, practical, and unique. I also aim to continue learning my trade, and to continue to pass down some of the knowledge and traditions that I have been so fortunate to have experienced.
I strive to keep craftsmanship going. I am Lauren Gosciminski, founder of The Leather Smithy.

For Personalized Tan Leather Guitar Strap With Hand Painted Name Or InitialsThis experience was incredible from start to finish. The guitar strap turned out beautifully. They communicated when the project would be started, when it would be shipped and expected delivery (with potential delays due to the holiday season). The craftsmanship is incredible. It was even wrapped in a box with a bow and string which saved me from needing to do that part! Start to finish I was thoroughly impressed.

For Hibiscus Flower Custom Leather Guitar StrapVery happy with my new engraved leather guitar strap (which I use on a Ukulele in my persona of Ranger John).
The service I received was excellent and the finished strap just perfect and how I had hoped it would be.
I will be coming back.
