| 【Staff Engagements】Two Activities Organized by the Staff Association | |
(1) DIY Leather Workshop
The Staff Association organized a DIY Leather Workshop on 9 March. Instructor Ms. Isa Lai taught the participants how to make card holders and Japanese omamoris.
Experienced in leather goods design and production, Ms. Lai has worked with several fashion labels on their leather products. She began the workshop by introducing some basic knowledge about leather as a material, then gave detailed instructions on the leather card holder and the Japanese omamori. Because of the complexity of its pattern, participants who chose to make the card holder took longer to finish their item. After the two-hour workshop, participants were all very satisfied with the leather accessories they made.
