Leed studios is located in the Cordoba Arts Center (CAC) in Durham, NC. As a member of Liberty Arts, we share our studio with some of the most creative metal artists and sculptors in the area. Though itself a large complex, the CAC is only half of what was once the Golden Belt Manufacturing Co.

Built during the turn of the twentieth century, Golden Belt Manufacturing Co. originally made bags for holding tobacco, and continued to diversify production around the needs of the tobacco industry for almost a century. For more on Golden Belt, Endangered Durham - a local blog project - describes its history in detail.
