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’s mission is to help others reset and renew their connection with their health, believing that a well-rooted habits created a prolonged and healthy life.
Sam, founder and craftsman of Ironhead Leather, 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, through Of Nettle & Hide, we channel our shared values into two branches of work and care:
Ironhead Leather (officially Ironhead Leather Works) offers timeless leather goods crafted by Sam that honor traditional workmanship and durable design. Check out Sam’s work on Instagram at @ironheadleatherworks.

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.
