About Notch
Welcome to the Notch Handmade Online Store
Sue Barry is Notch Handmade's founder, owner, employee and apprentice. She is a self- taught leather smith, which allows her to indulge a passion for design and manufacture whilst skilfully dodging housework by hiding in her shed.
Based in Tregaron in rural, Mid Wales and previously working as a textile artist, she has been in business for over a decade, honing her passion for making into usable skills.
Notch Handmade is the product of those years and signifies a change in direction, but not in ethos. The aim is to create contemporary, hand made items in beautiful materials and bring different, bespoke pieces to the online marketplace.
