Handcrafted Leather & Original Prints
Fern and Dragon is a collaborative studio created by Raymond Belt and Lynda Belt, bringing together traditional leather craftsmanship and original printmaking. Their work is rooted in skilled handwork, natural materials, and a shared love of pattern, texture, and storytelling. Each piece is made slowly and intentionally, designed to be used, lived with, and appreciated over time.
