There are various terminologies in leatherwork. The leather artist must understand these terms. He must perfectly know their meanings so that he can be a chief or exponent in the field. Some of these terms in leatherwork are discussed.
Appliqué is a decorative technique in leatherwork whereby a cut out design is glued to the surface of the leather and sewn around it. Antique is a decorative treatment given to leather. It involves the giving of the leather a mellowed effect for it to look like an ancient piece.
Bakometer is a hydrometer used for determining the specific gravity of tanning solutions. Bazaar is the selling of a wide range of products in leatherwork in a shop or store. Burnishing is a finishing technique in leatherwork that involves the making of the surface of the leather shiny by means of rubbing its surface with a smooth instrument such as a bottle, the disc of a spoon, etc. Blushing is the dulling or mottling of the finish of the leather resulting from condensed moisture during drying of the finish.
Channel is a slanting cut made around the edge of an outsole or insole to provide a groove for the stitching and to keep the line of the thread below the surface of the leather. Checking is the separation of leather or composition heel lifts from each other. Crop is a side with the belly trimmed off. Crocking is the transfer of finish or colour when leather is rubbed with a wet or dry cloth. Currying is a process of treating tanned hides with oils and greases to prepare them for a belting sole, harness leather etc.
Dyeing is a decorative technique of applying a liquid colouring agent to the leather material in a decorative manner to create pleasing effects on the leather. Dubbing/Dubbin is a mixture of oils and fats for stuffing leather.
Embossing is the creation of raised patterns on leather as a decorative effect. It can be done either by heating the surface of the leather with a stamping tool or by laying a cut out hardboard design and laying the leather on it. Exhibition is a public display of products in order to attract viewers and buyers. Eyelet is an annular ring of metal or other material inserted in leather to provide a durable ring for lacing.
Goring is a woven fabric with rubber threads forming an elastic material. It is used as an insert in footwear. Incision is a decorative technique involves reducing the thickness of the leather around a marked out design on a leather material by chipping away or cutting off, the same as with wood or other materials. In-laying is a decorative technique involves the cutting out of a drawn design (i.e. positive areas) and placing a new coloured leather piece under the cutout design thus, in-laying. The in-laid leather piece is maintained in position either by stitching, sewing or gluing. Lacing- This is the fastening together of a leather piece with a lace (a decorative open work that employs thread.)
