Of Nettle & Hide is a collective of makers, wellness providers, and educators devoted to sustainable craftsmanship and intentional living. Founded and lovingly owned by Liz and Sam, our work reflects the harmony between healing, handiwork, and the natural world.
Liz brings over a decade of experience in healthcare and a background as a Certified Personal Trainer, blending science, mindfulness, and care to support holistic well-being. Her work is guided by a deep respect for the body’s connection to nature and the belief that wellness is a shared, community-centered journey.
Sam is a Union Ironworker by trade, a craftsman whose skill and precision forge strength and artistry alike. Away from the job site, he finds purpose in hands-on living and craft, where resourcefulness and respect for materials shape his approach to both product design and life.
Together, we create through Of Nettle & Hide, channeling our shared values into two branches of work and care:
- Mother Earth Hearth & Apothecary, often referred to as “The Hearth”, offers handcrafted herbal goods and holistic services that support body and spirit.

- Ironhead Leather (officially Ironhead Leather Works) Sam crafts timeless leather goods that honor traditional workmanship and durable design.

Rooted in reciprocity, we proudly support mutual aid and community initiatives that nurture collective well-being. For us, sustainability is not a trend but a daily practice — one that invites balance, intention, and reverence for both people and planet.
At Of Nettle & Hide, we invite you to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover the beauty of what’s handmade and heartfelt — where wellness, work, and artistry intertwine to tell a story of care, creativity, and connection.
