The Power Of Creative Therapy!

I've always had a lot of hobbies but discovered leathercraft during a difficult time in my life. It was extremely therapeutic as well as rewarding and helped me focus on what I was doing creatively rather than on the problems around me. Over the years I've discovered a lot of people with a similar experience as mine. We all need a healthy outlet that does not involve looking at a screen😵 or being preoccupied with likes👍 on social media. One good friend and successful leather artisan once shared with me that prior to getting involved with leathercraft she was losing an ongoing battle with depression. She had been on medication and therapy for a while, but in spite was getting worse. Then one day someone introduced her to leathercrafting and suggested she give it a try. She immediately took to it and her condition began to rapidly improve. Within a short amount of time she was off her meds and living a healthy and productive lifestyle. Since then she's made a career out of her craft and has received multiple awards and honors for her work and contributions.

Healthy creative expression is not only a very important part of who we are, I believe it's also food for our souls. Its a beautiful way to share with others some of our finer qualities rather than some of the chaos we're fed through the media everyday.😩 You can't always take a vacation from stress in your life, but you can find opportunities to rest and recharge through creativity. 
There are also many reasons why I love to work with leather besides the fact that I find it relaxing and therapeutic. So, I don't want you to think that it's just something I do to chill out, it's also extremely rewarding... It's provided me with incredible opportunities to develop my talents into a profession and work with some of the most talented craftsman in the world. I love the strong sense of community that exists within the trade and the support that the community shares with one another. Leather is also perhaps one of the most versatile materials in the world and it's craft is as ancient as civilization itself. Leathercraft is a skill that just about anyone can learn and put to use in their lives, given the opportunity. Opportunities that Fischer Workshops is here to provide... Thanks, Chris✌

I agree that leathercrafting is very therapeutic. But I also think that it takes a large degree of skill to undertake a craft like this to the degree that you have taken it. Certainly it is a talent, but it also is a gift. I have great respect for this incredible art form.

Nature for me is still the most effective therapy. It doesn't really matter how serious your condition is. If it's terminal, then a view of the mountain or the sea maybe the quickest way to heal your soul. It's not too late to feel good about yourself even if you only have a few days or hours to live. I have seen this story of an ambulance driver who followed an elderly woman's request to stay on top of a mountain and have a nice view of the ocean before she passed out. It maybe against the protocol but who would have thought it's going to be admired by the most number of people.

每當強烈著拿著針線,那種愉快的感覺,就像成功的作品即將完成,成就感逐漸微笑了起來,興趣的皮革作品,不要求百分百完美,只求製作過程的美好,真的它可以治療我,生活中或是工作中的失落感。
