Pong Gaddi
Leather
Pong Gaddi began learning the art of leather-working as a child in the Philippines, where grade school children were taught how to make and weave baskets. Since then, his work has evolved into true hand-weaving of individually hand-cut, edge-thinned, and edge-dyed leather strips to create a seamless finish. Though Pong’s work appears very modern, there are still traditional influences on each of his pieces.
