Learn the art of leather craft and create your own custom A5 journal cover! In this hands-on workshop, participants will be guided through the process of: selecting leather, hand-embossing personalized designs, and stitching the final product. No previous experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and creativity. By the end of the session, you will have a beautifully crafted leather journal cover to keep or gift, along with the skills to continue exploring leatherworking on your own.

Western Development Museum - Yorkton
The Western Development Museum's vision is a Saskatchewan where everyone belongs and histories matter. We believe that people’s lives are enriched by connecting with Saskatchewan’s diverse histories. We also believe that people experience a sense of place and belonging because their histories are shared through the WDM.
This workshop will be led by artist Jailyn Corbin. Jailyn is a 9th-century historical reenactor with experience bringing the past to life through traditional crafts.
The Western Development Museum – Yorkton is always eager to share knowledge through hands-on learning experiences. We are seeking crafters who are passionate about sharing their skills and keeping history alive. If you are interested in leading workshops or volunteering, please reach out to us.
