I Am Only a Craftsman | Trailer | 2024 Documentary
I AM ONLY A CRAFTSMAN
A Documentary Film by Sheridan County Travel & Tourism
Leather craft is inextricably linked to the culture of Wyoming and is woven into the very fabric of Sheridan’s identity. There have been saddle makers and leather toolers in Bighorn Mountain Country for as long as there have been cowboys chasing sunsets across the frontier, yet leather craft as art is something of a modern phenomenon, one born of the fusion of rangeland utility and upcountry escapism.
King’s Saddlery, established by cowboy and leather crafter Don King in 1947, remains an iconic cowboy emporium and the foremost tack and leather shop in the west, and has become a major destination for visitors - indeed, King’s Ropes hats have become something of a ubiquitous hallmark of a trip to Sheridan County. King himself is considered one of the finest leather crafters to ever ply his trade in Wyoming, and his namesake museum, located at the saddlery, features some of his most spectacular pieces - along with work by masters Bill Gardner and Chester Hape. When Queen Elizabeth visited Sheridan in 1989, she made a trip to King’s: what she saw there then was what you will find today; handmade ropes, utilitarian tack, bits, spurs, belt knives and hats set out alongside some of the most spectacularly carved saddles ever made - not to mention hand-tooled wallets, belts, bags, vases, and much more.
Stamping, tooling, and carving traditions are upheld today by the likes of Barry and Ryan King (Don King’s grandsons), as well as James F Jackson of the Brinton Museum. James Jackson, known in the leather trade as Jim, was named a National Heritage Fellow by the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2019, and was awarded a Wyoming Governor’s Arts Award the same year. The son of saddle maker Edward Jackson, Jim was stamping leather in Ernst’s Saddlery by the age of 14. He began hand-stamping belts at King’s in 1974, later earned degrees in Fine Art at the University of Wyoming and began taking custom orders at the shop in 1989. Jackson spent 43 years epitomizing Sheridan craftsmanship at King’s Saddlery before transitioning to the leather shop at the Brinton Museum where he continues to work.
Jackson’s art is celebrated globally; he is an icon not only in the USA, but in countries like Japan, a nation known for its own robust history of leather craft. Artists like Seiichi Koyashiki, considered one of the finest artists in the world, have built upon American carving traditions in their work; Akiko Okada, winner of the prestigious Al Stohlman Award for Excellent in Leather Craft, have studied under and been inspired by Jackson; others, like Taka Otsuka, who gave up a career at Wrangler to chase his dream of becoming a master carver, have made the "Sheridan Style" synonymous with leather carving across Japan.
“I Am Only a Craftsman” is an examination of the surprising power of Wyoming’s art and history; most of the world is unaware of the scope and prestige of Sheridan’s artistic and cultural exports, and the strong connections they have forged with art communities across the globe. This documentary traces the history of Wyoming leather craft back to its roots and follows Jim Jackson and Taka Otsuka on a journey across Japan to explore the cultural exchange between western and eastern leather artists. Perhaps the most surprising discovery on this international journey is that these artists, known universally as the very finest in their field of work, remain as humble as their cowboy forbearers and frequently refer to themselves as “only craftsmen.”

I just want to say this was absolutely beautiful! God bless you and all of your family and friends! 🙏
Can’t wait to see it.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I live in Sheridan, and i grew up there. Let me tell you, it is very pretty, but people keep moving here, and it is so annoying 😑
Excellent bio on Whitney and her powerhouse female energy, along with her drive and intelligence. It was a very interesting video beginning with her personal life, hobbies, yet found the business side was so informative about Wyoming and the inner operations at Rocking WW Minerals.
I can see the horses are totally into it. And that is what makes this so great. Observe how the horses do their best to avoid hurting any of those crazy humans. Not easy to do when the adrenaline is peaking.
This happens to be my daughter featured in this video. Thanks to all who had a part in this! The video work, editing and awesome personalities make for easy to enjoy viewing. You've made me a very proud dad!
idk if its america's first extreme sport because the spanish brought the horses to the americas. horses were here before but the native americans ate them to extinction instead of domesticating them. Then they saw how the europeans used them and the big aha moment happened.
Thank you so very much for sharing a part of your life. I was lost for words at how beautiful it is in your part of the world.
Get WYO'd!
One of my favorites Jalon!! So cool to see you play it live!!
The America 🇺🇸 we love to see ❤ beautiful 😊
Women are all pissed off here. Sheridan. Don't blame them. Highest domestic violence in the country. Men like beating there women and are all bull stalking queers. Carry if you stay. They follow you up into the mountains. Bad greedy here to.
Where is this this looks so awesome
Montana, Wyoming west I’m trying to get this moving on the other side of the Mississippi. I have to say it’s an absolute blast. The ones that take care of the horses. You can see how happy they are in the soul. They love it to the horses just love it.
Great job crew! It seems like you're really hitting your stride with this series. Can't wait to get up and explore some of these areas. But not in October...
I would love to Come visit
Drunks, drug addicts, felons, towns full of these people. 3 months. Robbed, car vandalized, ripped off and there not vet friendly. Alot of super stalking people here. Neighbors been sneaking around for weeks following me. He's being watched now. Like Jeffrey dormer. Yeah have lived all over the world. Made a mistake settling here. Nicer you are the more they'll rob you here. Police? Non existent. Buffalo Wyoming is bad so is Casper. Pretty state full of thieves, alcoholics, drug addicts, felons. Sheridan not safe for your kids either. These people are worse than Floridians.
Big horns are freaking tasty. Nice work gents.
Love it! I have been to Folly Ranch and it’s beautiful!!
AWESUME!
That should read, AWESOME!
I thought Indians love their horses… instead they brutally torture them
Ha. I would love to see a champion Reiner or barrel racer trying to ride with these young men. They’d fly right off the back and be left at the starting line, lol. Bareback is a different ballgame, good for these youthful riders!
Indeed!!!!! I’m new to the races. I’ve been riding for 20+ years, and I can honestly say that this is the hardest things I’ve ever had to do in my life, but the most fulfilling for my horses and I.. it may not seem like it on the outside, but on the inside is an amazing warm calm that goes through you when you know, your horse is happy deep down in his soul
Born and raised there but outsiders from California have been allowed to take key positions in Government and are destroying it by turning it into a carnival side show
This is where dreams go to die
My great grandma was born in Sheridan in 1908. Beautiful country.
I lived in Buffalo a few years ago. Now widowed, I am back in my home state of Wisconsin. Have always loved horses 🐎 and dreaming of living on a ranch out west. Came true in ways. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Will have all of that in Heaven. 😇 Thanks for sharing. Amen 🕊🙏🕊
AS A 73 YEAR OLD LADY I CAN GUARANTY YOU I COULD HAVE AND WOULD HAVE DONE THIS IN MY YOUNGER YEARS WITH MY HORSES. NOW NO WAY. I LOVE YOUR SPORT AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE A RACE IN PERSON. KEEP UP THE EXCITEMENT AND GOOD WORK WITH YOUR HORSES!!

That background music is not in the background at all and it is annoying. You can barely hear what the people are saying because of the music.
Dear Lord, don't let tourists ruin it like they have Colorado
I'm a minority, liberal and from California so I know I'm not welcome.
You’re labeling and separating people is the problem.
You are welcome even though it's kind of annoying the number of people moving to sheridan because I grew up there and still live there
Yes! I agree! It's a lovely town. Your video captures the beauty of this place. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Sean...thanks so much for these videos. I was in Wyoming last in 1985 and 1986 as a young teenager, a couple of weeks in each summer. Decided to come back and am in Sheridan. Did the southern loop yesterday (couldn’t do Crazy Woman...doing it tomorrow). Hiked Tongue River Canyon today and it was HOT. But we made it and enjoyed it. Also have been to BisonUnion the last two days because of your videos. Also the fly shop (people there were great!). Again, thanks for your shows!
well done ms wallop is a true sheridan SHERIDAN Male or female given name that means, 1. Irish term for wild, uninhibited, free. 2. From an Irish surname which was derived from O Sirideain meaning "decendant of siridean". The name Siridean means "searcher" in Gaelic.
