Leatherworking Internship

As spring draws to a close and internships wind down, we are so proud of all the hardworking students who have devoted their time to learning a new skill at Wallpusher.

Leatherworking is an ancient art, and our interns have worked hard to master sewing, die cutting, riveting, and more. Working with our brand new vinyl strap design, available on Etsy for $29, interns worked to integrate the two materials seamlessly and create a beautiful affordable product.

We’ve had students apply to our internships from Massart, Montserrat, Gordon College, and more. You can find our postings at the links below.

Walter Matthew and Beautiful Guitar

We Love Walter as a friend, respect him as a great artist, and an innovative teacher. Matthew first met Walter teaching at the Museum of Fine Arts School in Boston, MA where Walter taught guitar making. When Matthew entered the SMFA Diploma Program in 2000, THE oldest fine arts degree in the country, he introduced himself to Walter and showed him the guitars that he had been making since childhood in New Jersey. Walter was amazed, and hired Matthew to help him teach guitar making.

Walter and Matthew share a similar spirit, their friendship is an intuitive one– they speak the same way, passionate about every subject from their art, to their teaching, to the flow of a shop. Everything is exciting to Walter, who says “I don’t know how much time I’ve got left” but is constantly working to innovate beautiful instruments and share his skills through teaching at renowned universities. His teaching talents are praised
