Pilar L. Benítez

Master of leatherwork, now teaching apprentices

🇺🇸 Corpus Christi, Texas, United States
Old Corpus Christi Workshop
Since 1980
English

My trade is leatherwork. I opened my own shop in 1980 in Corpus Christi and I'm still there most mornings. Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I always make time for a proper cup of tea. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.

More about Pilar

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.

Leatherwork

What gifts mean to Pilar: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
