"Leather is the first form of architecture" - so says Minh Le Pham, an architect and leather artist who blurs the line between art and life by using his home as a studio and gallery. Yusuf and Minh discuss how we are all craftspeople: crafting life, relationships, living spaces. It is the job of craft to help us define and refine these boundaries.
