Welcome to Of Nettle & Hide
Hello and welcome to Of Nettle & Hide, a fresh beginning and a new creative venture that brings together the spirits of Mother Earth Hearth & Apothecary and Ironhead Leather Works (Ironhead Leather).
Rather than a slow blending over time, this is a fresh start, a deliberate choice to bring our crafts together now. Two makers with different skills, stepping into a new chapter to see what can be created when leatherwork and plantcraft share the same space.
Here, you’ll find a blend of both worlds:
🌿 Earth-Based Wisdom & Apothecary Arts
Herbal knowledge, natural preparations, plant magic, and offerings inspired by the seasons.
🪡 Leathercraft & Traditional Skills
Handmade leather goods, process notes, rugged craftsmanship, and a commitment to pieces built with intention.
✨ The Meeting Place Between Them
Creative experiments, new ideas, and the evolving story of two crafts learning to grow alongside each other.
About the Makers
We are the hands and hearts behind Of Nettle & Hide — two makers with different backgrounds and complementary passions.
- Mother Earth Hearth & Apothecary
Guided by a love for herbs, plant lore, and natural wellness. Crafting earth-centered goods that support ritual, healing, and connection. - Ironhead Leather Works (Ironhead Leather)
Driven by a passion for leathercraft, tools, and traditional techniques. Creating durable, rugged pieces meant to be used, loved, and carried for years.
Until now, our crafts stood on their own. But we’ve chosen to bring them together under one name, not out of necessity, but out of curiosity, excitement, and the desire to create something shared.
Of Nettle & Hide is where plant and hide, soft and sturdy, earth and craft meet for the very first time.
This journey is new, full of possibility, and shaped by our commitment to intentional, handmade work.
We’re grateful you’re here at the very beginning.
Thank you for joining us.
Welcome to Of Nettle & Hide.
