    something I've wanted to do for ages now is start some leathercrafting, starting with making simple bracelets and accesories like that, but I don't know where to get things to get started. is there anywhere in Galway that does supplies for this?

    Thanks! ;)

    Perhaps try Cregal Arts and similar shops? They may not have it but should know of people.
    Check in the market if someone there sells these, perhaps you can get pointers from them?

    Amazon - combined with Parcel Motel's' Belfast address to make postage reasonable.

    There's a guy called Seamus O Callaghan near McDonagh's who is a saddler and supplies leather and leather products.
    Sound man.

    Slightly off topic, but occasionally i'm looking for a leather crafter (tooler) for an occasional craft market because there's a lack of (mens gifts?) this type of craft. PM me if you get off the ground ;)
