This hands-on camp introduces kids to basic leatherworking techniques in a fun, beginner-friendly way! Campers will draw and paint on leather before transforming it into their very own pouch—no sewing required! Using simple lacing techniques, each participant will walk away with a handmade pouch perfect for holding tiny treasures or everyday objects.
