Leather Works by Joe Ferron

Working with leather is an ancient art that goes back to the dawn of man’s existence on earth. Today, leather crafting is alive and well, although hand carving in leather is a specialized talent that is presently in the downswing. Joe Ferron of the Marché Moncton Market is committed to reviving that art form in the many wonderful hand-tooled pieces he produces for sale at the market each Saturday. Here, one can find a wide array of leather goods in a range of price points – there’s something for everyone! Choose from wristlets, wallets, key chains, belts, purses, or saddlebags that are just perfect for your horse or Harley. Got a special design idea? Joe can work with your design to produce a work of custom art.

Joe Ferron painstakingly designs and carves each motif in a series of attractive and timely patterns. He has even designed a cell phone holder with a durable snap-on fixture so you can readily remove it and attach it to various belts or purse straps in a quick and easy manner. Here, ancient art meets modern technology!

Joe Ferron is an interesting individual. Recently back in the Maritimes where he’s originally from, Joe spent many years in Western Canada where he worked. With leather craft as a hobby and a passion, Joe now uses his increased leisure time to devote to his talent in leather working with the result that the residents of the Greater Moncton Area can now reap the rewards. Looking for a special gift idea? Need a sturdy handbag or purse? Visit Joe Ferron at the market on Saturdays and delight in the leather workings of a master at his craft!
