In the second installation of the Youth Experiential, Young SMOU (YSMOU) organised a leather-crafting workshop on 18 November, which was attended by close to 20 youth members. During the workshop, the youth were able to learn more about the different types of leather and even had a hands-on experience of creating 3 different leather products – a coin pouch, a card holder, and a keychain.

Leather crafting is not as easy as it seems. A lot of patience and focus was required, as one had to meticulously trace the leather, cut, and trim it according to the lines. After which, they added their very own personal touch to their products by embossing their names or designs on them. Some of the youths even took the chance to create a piece for their loved ones.
