At the Golden Gate Library, families got together with us to experiment with leather-working skills, creating personalized bracelets.
Folk could choose from precut bracelets or leather scraps they cut themselves. We brought a wide range of stamps, paints, and hardware that each person used to individualize their very own wearable work of art.
