\"Ted<\/a>“A large part of my journey since starting Legacy Brand Leather in 2013 has also been about storytelling. This is something rooted<\/span> in my experience\u00a0at Chapman’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts<\/a>. Since graduating in 2010, I have combined my film background with my craft to create a YouTube Channel where I share techniques, insights, and the artistry behind leatherwork with enthusiasts around the world. For me, the word “Legacy” has come to mean more than what we leave behind. It’s about passing the torch: sharing a passion, craft, or heirloom with those who will carry it forward.” – Ted Atkins ’10<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
