Immerse yourself in a journey of creativity, cultural appreciation, and skill development as you craft your very own Native American leather pouch. 

Learn the art of creating traditional leather pouches, a skill passed down through generations. Gain insight into the historical significance and practical uses of these pouches while mastering the techniques that transform raw materials into beautiful, functional pieces of art.

Note: This workshop is intended to promote cultural appreciation, respect, and understanding. It is not an attempt to appropriate or commercialize Native American culture, but rather a platform to learn and engage with traditional crafting techniques in a respectful manner.

No prior crafting experience required. This workshop is open to individuals of all skill levels who have an interest in Native American culture, craftsmanship, and hands-on learning. All materials provided.

This workshop is facilitated by members of the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center and is a collaboration between COTRAIC, the University of Pittsburgh's Indigenous Community Engagement Initiative, and the Center for Creativity.
