Leather Bag making with Jo Heard
Veterans embraced the art of leather craftsmanship through a subsidised bag‑making course delivered in partnership with Walsall Leather Skills Centre, Mental Fortitude, and expert maker Jo Heard. This hands‑on programme empowered participants with new skills, confidence, and a pathway into traditional leatherwork.
