The Saddlery

Delve into the timeless craft of saddle making, from traditional hand-stitching techniques to the modern manufacturing methods shaping the industry today. This new exhibition offers a rare opportunity to explore the original tools, processes, and evolving technologies behind this time-honoured trade. Explore over 30 original hand tools and enjoy a documentary-style film featuring personal stories from master saddler Bob Edwards and the enduring, family-owned Toowoomba Saddlery. Discover the skill, dedication, and heritage that continue to shape the craft through historical objects and personal insights. Queensland Museum Cobb+Co is grateful to Garth and Sandra Delbridge for their generous support of this project. This event is free with museum admission. Admission is free for Toowoomba Region residents.
